For Fiscal Year 2027 (FY27), the House Committee on Appropriations allowed each Member to submit up to 20 Community Project Funding (CPF) requests for their specific Congressional district.
Below, in alphabetical order by project, are the MA-08 CPF requests submitted by Congressman Lynch for the FY26 appropriations cycle. The Appropriations Committee will determine which projects are selected for funding and the allocated funding amount.
In compliance with House Rules and Committee requirements, Congressman Lynch has certified that he, his spouse, and his immediate family have no financial interest in any of the projects he has requested for Community Project Funding.
Holbrook Senior and Community Services Center
Amount Requested: $5,000,000
The funding will be used for the demolition of the former John F. Kennedy School, and site preparation and construction of a new municipal community facility that will support essential public services including senior services, food access, wellness programming and community outreach.
The project is an appropriate use of taxpayer funds because Holbrook’s Council on Aging is currently operating out of a small converted residential building that severely limits its programming and service delivery capacity. The new facility will allow for a broader range of services and programs to be offered to more seniors. It will also serve as a hub for other community services, including a food pantry, benefits counseling and outreach programs that assist residents with healthcare and social services, and collaborative programming with community partners including the local public library for educational and technology-based learning opportunities.
This project has a federal nexus because it is for the purposes authorized in Section 306 of the Consolidated Farm and Rural Development Act, 7 U.S. Code section 1926(a).
Plymouth County Sheriff's Office Communications Equipment
Amount Requested: $3,000,000
The funding will be used for the upgrading of the critical radio infrastructure currently used by
the Plymouth County Regional Communications Center at the Plymouth County Sheriff's
Office.
The project is an appropriate use of taxpayer funds because the current equipment is 40-years
old and past its end of life. This project would bring the regional communication center up to
the industry standard for public safety radio systems that serve the residents in Plymouth,
Barnstable, Bristol and Norfolk Counties with fire mutual aid and emergency medical dispatch.
This project has a federal nexus because it is for the purposes authorized in section 1701(b)(9) of
the Omnibus Crime Control and Safe Streets Act of 1968 (34 U.S.C. § 10381(b)(9)).
Weymouth Police Cruisers
Amount Requested: $840,000
The funding will be used for the purchase of ten outfitted police cruisers for the Weymouth Police Department. The project is an appropriate use of taxpayer funds because the Department’s aging fleet of patrol units has experienced increased maintenance needs due to heavy daily use. The new vehicles will be used for patrol operations, emergency response, and community policing activities that improve public safety and the delivery of law enforcement services to the approximately 60,000 residents of Weymouth.
This project has a federal nexus because it is for the purposes authorized in section 501 of the Omnibus Crime Control and Safe Streets Act of 1968 (34 U.S.C. § 10152).
