In my zip code we got about $2.5M to rehab the Carnegie Institute lab. Exactly what those guys do with a lab is beyond me as I have never heard of them making any contribution to science.

We also got about $1.5 M to restore Pierce Mill on Rock Creek. Annoying things is that the Pierce Mill dam was built in the 1950's by the NPS as a tourist attraction and blocked fish migration upstream each Spring until I found money for a fish ladder.

We also got money for sidewalks but in my neighborhood I have filed a letter preventing them from installing them on some streets until they do an environmental assessment.
