U.S. Rep. Frank J. Mrvan, D-Highland, is seeking more than $42 million for Northwest Indiana now that members of Congress again can request specific funding for district projects in federal spending legislation.
The first-term congressman this week asked the House Appropriations Subcommittee on Energy and Water Development to help him carry on the legacy of retired U.S. Rep. Pete Visclosky, D-Gary, by funding several projects focused on improving the Lake Michigan shoreline.
Specifically, Mrvan requested $18.4 million to expand the capacity of the confined storage facility for dangerous material dredged from Indiana Harbor, $10 million for general water infrastructure improvements in Lake and Porter counties, and $5 million for operations and maintenance at Indiana Harbor.
