Washington, Jun 7 - Today, U.S. Representative David Scott (GA-13) announced that a federal award of $150,000 has been approved for the city of Riverdale’s Multi-Purpose Citizens Center in Clayton County. The project was included in the bill funding the U.S. Departments of Transportation, Treasury, Housing and Urban Development, and other agencies for Fiscal Year 2007.

“I am pleased to be able to provide Riverdale with assistance in improving services available to the county’s growing population,” Congressman Scott said. “This worthy project will provide a greater variety of much-needed community resources, including recreation facilities for youth.”

The city of Riverdale will utilize the federal funds to provide recreation and after-school programs. Further, the addition will be used for hosting community-wide events.

The Committee-passed bill must be approved by the full U.S. House of Representatives and then approved by the Senate.
