The federal Spending Package which is in the tens of millions of dollars is earmarking for federal funds. It does stand to be delivering to dozens of Long Island projects. This would be as soon as Congress passes the huge omnibus package. Moreover, it would be to keep the government open and to send aid to the besieged Ukraine republic.
Federal Spending Package
The Long Island’s four representatives to Congress, individually and in coordination with Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer and Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand, have won more than $50 million for projects in their districts with the return of earmarks. They are now naming community-funded projects.
For Gabreski National Guard Base is among the biggest of the funded products which are $14.8 million. Also $8.5 million for the intercoastal waterway. Plus a $10 million grant to Stony Brook University was to launch an innovative network of biomedical research institutions.
Long Island Network for Clinical and Translational Science
The network is known as the Long Island Network for Clinical and Translational Science. It will be a collaborative effort with Brookhaven National Lab (BNL), Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory, and the Northport VA Medical Center.
“This is going to put Long Island on the map. It is as one of, if not the leading, centers for clinical research,” Schumer told Newsday in an interview Wednesday. “They’re going to have four incubators, and they’re going to use software to combine software with clinical examination.”
Funding, Operations and Research
Stony Brook said in a statement, “The funding will help scale up operations of this research. Plus a health care service network. Plus create an ecosystem that will fast-track the application of new scientific discoveries in clinical medical care. Also to help to provide innovative new treatments to more patients throughout Long Island.”
Schumer added the Stony Brook grant in negotiations in the past two days, also along with the $3.2 million drinking water.
