Bill > HR2792

This bill aims to make the Union Station Redevelopment Corporation (USRC) eligible for several federal transportation grant programs and provide them with 100% federal funding for their projects. Specifically, the bill enables the USRC to receive grants from four key programs: the Better Utilizing Investments to Leverage Development (BUILD) grant program, National Infrastructure Project Assistance Grants, Consolidated Rail Infrastructure and Safety Improvement Grants, and Federal-State Partnership for Intercity Passenger Rail Grants. By modifying existing law, the bill ensures that the USRC can receive full federal funding (100% of project costs) for infrastructure and transportation-related projects, which is a departure from typical grant programs that require some level of matching funds from the recipient. The legislation appears designed to support the development and improvement of Union Station, likely in Washington D.C., by providing the USRC with enhanced financial resources and flexibility to undertake infrastructure initiatives. The bill's provisions are technical in nature, primarily amending specific sections of the United States Code to include the USRC as an eligible grant recipient with unique funding terms.
