The CPF allocations were requested by local entities to address community needs. “I strive to provide essential support to the communities I represent, especially those that have been systemically and historically neglected,” said Congressman Clyburn. “This funding package includes some basic and essential investments in local communities that helps make the promise of America more accessible and affordable for all.” South Carolina 6th District projects funded in the FY 2023 omnibus appropriation legislation are: Project Sponsor Description Funding Received Orangeburg Railroad Corner Project City of Orangeburg Rehabilitation of the historic State Theater on Boulevard Street near downtown Orangeburg.

Clyburn | C000537 | clyburn.house.gov | clyburn | https://clyburn.house.gov/press-releases/ | scraper | COLUMBIA, SC –Today, Congressman James E. Clyburn celebrated passage of the National Heritage Area Act, which includes key provisions of the Southern Campaign of the Revolution National Heritage Corridor Act. This legislation will establish the Southern Campaign of the Revolution National Heritage Corridor, an 8-mile-wide corridor that will span across North and South Carolina. Additionally, this will be the third National Corridor in South Carolina alongside the South Carolina National Heritage Corridor, which was designated in 1996, and the Gullah-Geechee Cultural Heritage Corridor, which was designated in 2006. The National Heritage Area Act also extends the authorization of those two corridors until 2037. “I have studied history my entire life and the Southern Campaign’s role in the American Revolution is often left out,” said Congressman Clyburn. “The creation of this corridor, which closes the loop on my heritage corridors creation efforts, will not only show the rich history of the Carolinas but also help tell a more complete history of our country.” Previously, Congressman Clyburn worked with former Congressman John Spratt to pass the National Heritage Areas Act of 2006 which initially authorized the National Park Service to study the feasibility of establishing a Southern Campaign of the Revolution National Heritage Corridor. The legislation now goes to President Biden to be signed into law. | 1 | 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z | 2026-04-08T03:32:05Z |

Clyburn issued the following statement today after the Senate passed legislation he authored to designate the U.S. Post Office located at 1550 Middleton Street in Orangeburg, South Carolina as the “J.I. Washington Post Office”: “I am pleased President Biden will soon sign legislation renaming the post office at 1550 Middleton Street in Orangeburg, South Carolina the ‘J.I. Washington Post Office.’ J.I., as he was known throughout the community, was a pillar in Orangeburg and highly influential throughout South Carolina. J.I. kept a low profile and saw his role working behind the scenes, as his calling. But he was the go-to guy when you wanted to get something done. “His name on this post office will be a constant reminder that everyone has a role to play to make their community a better place. Despite having never stood for elective office, he accomplished more than many elected officials and had a significant impact on the community and the state. I look forward to the dedication of the post office in his honor.” | 1 | 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z | 2026-04-08T03:32:05Z |

Clyburn | C000537 | clyburn.house.gov | clyburn | https://clyburn.house.gov/press-releases/ | scraper | COLUMBIA, SC- Today, Congressman James E. Clyburn announced the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is awarding $58.46 million from President Biden’s Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act to South Carolina school districts through the newly created Clean School Bus Program, including $20.54 million for the Sixth Congressional District. South Carolina will receive the third highest total funding among the states. This funding, administered through the EPA, will help 16 South Carolina school districts purchase electric school buses and charging stations that will aid in the transition to zero emission vehicles and produce cleaner air in and around schools and communities. “I am pleased to see how the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act is continuing to serve South Carolina in our pursuit to improve quality of life through infrastructure,” said Congressman Clyburn. “This funding will provide students with the reliable transportation they deserve while reducing climate pollution.” The Clean School Bus Program will reduce greenhouse gas emissions, save money for school districts, and produce cleaner air. Diesel air pollution is linked to asthma and other conditions that harm students’ health and cause them to miss school, particularly in communities of color and Tribal communities. Phasing out these diesel engines will ensure cleaner air for students, bus drivers, and school staff working near the bus loading areas, and the communities through which the buses drive each day. The reduction in greenhouse gas emissions from these bus replacements will also help to address the outsized role of the transportation sector in fueling the climate crisis. The program will also save school districts money by covering the cost to upgrade school bus fleets, replacing older, heavily polluting buses with brand new clean school buses.

Clyburn announced that the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) is awarding $6,276,787 in Emergency Rural Health Care Grants for eight projects to improve health care facilities throughout South Carolina. These grants will help rural health care facilities expand and improve quality of services. “It has been my mission to ensure that every citizen has access to affordable healthcare especially those in our rural communities that have been historically neglected,” said Congressman Clyburn. “I am pleased to see the Biden-Harris Administration’s continued investment in rural communities, which addresses a critical need in districts like mine.” “This significant investment in our rural communities shows the agency’s commitment to not only helping rural, particularly those communities that suffered the most from COVID 19, to recover from the pandemic; but also to help these communities prepare for future pandemics,” said Dr. Saundra Glover, Director of South Carolina Rural Development. “Most importantly it shows our agency’s recognition of the importance of access to quality health care and healthy food options in addressing health inequities.” The Biden-Harris Administration is making this Emergency Rural Health Care Grants Program funding available through its historic legislative package, the American Rescue Plan Act. The Act and this program are examples of the government’s ability to respond quickly to ensure every person and family has access to high-quality health care no matter their zip code. The investments in the eight South Carolina facilities will help build a stronger, more sustainable rural health care system in response to the pandemic. The projects receiving funding are: The Regional Medical Center of Orangeburg and Calhoun counties will receive a $1 million grant to purchase emergency medical equipment that will prevent, detect, and respond to the threat po… | 1 | 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z | 2026-04-08T03:20:33Z |

Clyburn announces the City of Charleston will receive a $7 million Rebuilding American Infrastructure with Sustainability and Equality (RAISE) planning grant through the U.S. Department of Transportation for the Lowcountry Lowline project. This project will reconnect disadvantaged communities divided by I-26 on the Charleston Peninsula by revitalizing an abandoned rail corridor to connect residents of seven neighborhoods to local schools, jobs, and a future rapid transit hub. Congressman Clyburn was instrumental in securing provisions in the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act that directed at least $15 million in RAISE grant funding to projects located in persistent poverty communities and waived matching fund requirements for those historically disadvantage areas. “I am so pleased that Charleston will benefit from the updated RAISE grant program,” said Congressman Clyburn. “This project will reconnect communities, improve their quality of life, and serve as a catalyst for economic growth. This is an example of the federal government investing in historically neglected areas and providing equity and opportunity for them to gain access the promise of America.” This grant award will fund planning and pre-construction activities such as design engineering, permitting, environmental remediation of contaminated soil, NEPA review, equity-focused community engagement, and project management for an approximate 2-mile shared pathway that will create new linkages to metro area’s transit system. This project will utilize an abandoned railway track and a neglected highway corridor to transform the backbone of the Charleston Peninsula into an urban greenway with bike lanes, pedestrian paths, and a hub for the Lowcountry Rapid Transit bus system.

Clyburn | C000537 | clyburn.house.gov | clyburn | https://clyburn.house.gov/press-releases/ | scraper | COLUMBIA, SC – Today, Congressman James E. Clyburn announced that the National Park Service has added four new sites in South Carolina to the Reconstruction Era National Historic Network. Established in 2019 by the John D. Dingell, Jr. Conservation, Management, and Recreation Act, this network was created to preserve and protect sites across the country that tell the story of America’s Reconstruction Era. The addition of these four sites brings the number of Reconstruction-era sites in South Carolina to 26, making it the largest in the national network. “I am pleased to see these four additional sites from South Carolina added to the Reconstruction Era National Historic Network,” said Congressman Clyburn. “Reconstruction is often a misunderstood part of our history, and these new sites build on the network’s mission of accurately telling the complete story of this era. These new additions will also greatly boost our state’s tourism industry by welcoming visitors from across the country who wish to learn about this important history.” Below are the four new sites from South Carolina added to the network: Redcliffe Plantation State Historic Site in Aiken County was completed in 1859 and was once home to South Carolina governor James Henry Hammond. This site tells the story of Hammond’s descendants as well as the free and enslaved Black families who shaped the cultural history and landscape of this plantation from 1855 through Reconstruction and up to 1975. The existing slave quarters and mansion serve to highlight the plantation’s rich and varied history. Randolph Cemetery in Columbia is listed on the National Register of Historic Places and served as the first formal private cemetery for Blacks in the city. Established in 1872, it is named in honor of African American State Senator Benjamin Franklin Randolph, who was assassinated in 1868. This cemetery became the final resting place for many prominent Reconstruction Era Black politicians.

Clyburn. “This national Bible study is much needed and forces the nation to turn the mirror on itself. What kind of soil are we if we cannot or will not protect the lives of students in school and parishioners in their places of worship? We must not allow the threads that hold the fabric of this great country together to become unraveled by appalling silence.” Program Participants include: Senator Tim Scott (R-SC); Presiding Bishop Michael Curry, Episcopal Church; Presiding Bishop Elizabeth Eaton, Lutheran Church; Rev.

Clyburn applauded House passage of the Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2022. This legislation includes more than $373 million to fund community projects in South Carolina and nearly $155 million of that is designated for projects in the Sixth Congressional District. The package also includes additional funding for key priorities like broadband, health care, transportation, housing, historic preservation, and the “10-20-30” initiative to target resources to communities in need. The legislation is expected to be approved by the Senate in the coming days. This appropriations package reflects final bipartisan agreement of federal spending for the current fiscal year. For the first time in 12 years, the package includes projects requested by communities that Members of Congress have supported with direct federal resources. “Passage of this federal funding package is a significant accomplishment for President Biden. It marks another bipartisan, bicameral package and ensures the government continues to function and provides necessary resources to build a better America,” Congressman Clyburn said. “I am especially pleased community projects are funded through this package to cut through red tape and directly address locally-identified needs.” South Carolina 6th district projects funded in the FY 2022 omnibus appropriation legislation are: Project Sponsor Description Location Funding Received Proposed Murdaugh Center Project Vital Aging of Williamsburg County, Inc.

Clyburn | C000537 | clyburn.house.gov | clyburn | https://clyburn.house.gov/press-releases/ | scraper | COLUMBIA – Today, Congressman James E. Clyburn announced that in 2021, South Carolina created 7,200 manufacturing jobs. As Co-Chair of the House Democratic Manufacturing Working Group, Congressman Clyburn is a leading advocate for America’s manufacturing sector. By enacting the American Rescue Plan and the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act, Democrats have demonstrated a commitment to ensuring good-paying jobs are created and remain in America. Building on this progress, recent House passage of the America COMPETES Act is an important step toward the enactment of legislation that will further strengthen the American economy and ease supply chain backlogs by lessening our reliance on foreign-made goods and making more products on American soil. Since President Biden took office, the U.S. has created 375,000 manufacturing jobs and a total of 6.6 million jobs nationwide. “These job numbers coupled with all-time low unemployment are clear indicators that the Biden-Harris Administration’s economic plan is working,” said Congressman Clyburn. “After just one year in office, our economy has seen tremendous growth. Enacting key provisions of the House-passed America COMPETES Act into law will ensure even more South Carolinians have access to high-quality, good-paying jobs.” | 1 | 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z | 2026-04-08T02:06:17Z |

Clyburn announced that South Carolina will receive over $21 million to fund five water infrastructure projects across the state. The funding for these upgrades was made available through the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act. Congressman Clyburn was the only member of the South Carolina House delegation to vote in support of South Carolina receiving this federal investment. “The Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act funding is critical to bringing South Carolina’s infrastructure into the 21st century,” said Congressman Clyburn. “As a coastal state, our economy is highly dependent on our water infrastructure for commerce and recreation. Thanks to the Biden Administration’s work, this funding will allow South Carolina’s economy to remain an interstate and global competitor.” Below are the projects that will receive funding: This funding is part of $14 billion the Army Corps of Engineers plans to invest in 500 projects across the nation. These new investments will create jobs and economic opportunity, while strengthening key water infrastructure projects, improving resiliency to the climate crisis, and restoring the environment. | 1 | 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z | 2026-04-08T01:57:46Z |

Clyburn (SC-6) along with Speaker Nancy Pelosi (CA-12), Minority Whip Steve Scalise (LA-1), Chairwoman Joyce Beatty (OH-3), Congressman Tom Rice (SC-07) and the family of former Representative Joseph H. Rainey unveiled “The Joseph H. Rainey Room” in the U.S. Capitol Thursday. Congressman Rainey was the first elected African American to serve in the U.S. House of Representatives. “This is a proud moment for the House of Representatives and the entire country. My colleagues and I have come together in a bipartisan effort to honor an inspiring figure in our nation’s history,” said Congressman Clyburn. “Joseph Rainey’s courage and willingness to be the voice of South Carolina’s 1st district for eight years in the face of rampant voter suppression and intimidation is a testament to why we honor him today. “It is also critical for us to keep things in the proper perspective and remember that the facts of history should be learned and not muddled by attempts to mislabel facts as theory. Joseph Rainey was the 1st elected Black man to serve in Congress – that is an undisputed fact,” Congressman Clyburn continued. “I have grandchildren who ought to be able to learn the story of Joseph Rainey and the inspiration he was to the eight Black Congressmen (from South Carolina) who followed him. I want my grandchildren to be just as proud of this moment and this country as I am. “I thank the family for traveling to the Capitol to witness this unveiling,” Congressman Clyburn concluded. “And I thank Speaker Pelosi, Minority Whip Scalise, Chairwoman Beatty and Representative Rice for helping to ensure Joseph Rainey’s name will forever have a place in the halls of Congress.” | 1 | 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z | 2026-04-08T01:57:46Z |

Clyburn | C000537 | clyburn.house.gov | clyburn | https://clyburn.house.gov/press-releases/ | scraper | COLUMBIA – Today, Congressman James E. Clyburn announced that South Carolina will receive $54.9 million from the U.S. Department of Transportation in fiscal year 2022 to repair bridges throughout the state. Currently in South Carolina, there are 745 bridges in poor condition. Because of historic lack of investment, the American Society of Civil Engineers has given South Carolina bridges a C on its infrastructure report card. Funding for these bridges was determined by the largest bridge formula program in American history, which was made possible by the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act that Congressman Clyburn helped pass. All House Republican members representing South Carolina voted against approving these federal investments for the state’s bridges. Only one South Carolina Senator voted for this funding in the Senate. “This funding is long overdue for our state, and I am pleased that the Biden-Harris Administration has made fixing our bridges a high priority,” said Congressman Clyburn. “This historic investment will ensure that our communities have safe and reliable bridges for not only drivers, but pedestrians and cyclists alike. These upgrades will also create several good paying jobs for South Carolinians and further help bolster our growing economy.” | 1 | 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z | 2026-04-08T01:50:39Z |
