HARTFORD–U.S. Senator Chris Murphy (D-Conn.), a member of the U.S. Senate Appropriations Committee, on Tuesday launched the “Connecticut Fund Finder” – an interactive online map detailing the federal dollars that Murphy has helped secure for Connecticut since 2020. The map features the major federal investments in Connecticut as a result of the American Rescue Plan, the Bipartisan Safer Communities Act, the CHIPS and Science Act, the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act, the Inflation Reduction Act, and Congressionally Directed Spending. This new map will help people in Connecticut better understand and track the federal investments in their community.
Throughout his time in Congress, Murphy has fought hard to bring federal money to Connecticut, and, over the last four years, has helped secure more than $4.2 billion to support everything from major infrastructure projects like repairs to the Gold Star Bridge, to educational programming, clean energy projects, community violence intervention, and workforce development programs.
“The people I talk to want to know how my work in the Senate impacts their daily lives,” said Murphy. “Federal funding can be a game changer for projects as small as a local job training program to something major like modernizing our state’s rail system, and I’m really proud that we have been able to bring billions of federal dollars back to Connecticut since 2020. I hope this map can be a useful resource that demonstrates how the work my team and I are doing in Washington directly helps communities in our state.”
The map highlights Murphy’s work since 2020 and features 430 projects along with their corresponding funding bills.
