Montgomery County residents could gain $600,000 of federal money for pedestrian safety projects in Silver Spring and a group home for three adults with developmental disabilities in Rockville, if congressional leaders can bring home the bacon.
Sen. Barbara Mikulski, D-Md., a member of the Senate Transportation, Housing and Urban Development Appropriations Subcommittee, earmarked $400,000 for pedestrian safety in Silver Spring’s Long Branch community as part of a spending bill the Senate approved Wednesday. She also scored $200,000 in the bill to help the Jewish Foundation for Group Homes convert a single-family home in Rockville into a group home that would house three adults with developmental disabilities.
