UNH Institute on Disability to Receive Funds Shea-Porter Secured
Shea-Porter Announces $400,000 for Brownfield Sites Clean-Up
Shea-Porter Helps Pass Korean War Veterans Recognition Act
That first one is key, as it would not have happened without the singular efforts of our hardworking Congresswoman, and at a time when UNH is struggling to meet its budgetary needs.
UNH Institute on Disability to Receive Funds Shea-Porter Secured
Washington, DC - The University of New Hampshire's (UNH) Institute on Disability is scheduled to receive funds that Congresswoman Shea-Porter secured in the Omnibus Appropriations Act of 2009. This funding will help develop a National Center on Inclusive Education for Children and Youth with Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) and related disabilities.
"One in every one hundred and fifty children is diagnosed with an autism spectrum disorder," said Congresswoman Shea-Porter. "UNH is a leader in this field, and this funding will provide the University with the necessary resources to reach educators and families all across the country and to improve services for students with autism."
The Fiscal Year 2010 Labor, Health, and Human Services Appropriations bill, which is scheduled to be on the House floor later this week, includes an additional $450,000 for the Center.
The Institute on Disability/UCED at the University of New Hampshire is nationally recognized for its services related to children and youth with ASD. New Hampshire is ranked #1 nationally in the percentage of time students with ASD spend in the general education classroom.
Shea-Porter Announces $400,000 for Brownfield Sites Clean-Up
Washington, DC - Congresswoman Carol Shea-Porter today announced that the Rockingham Planning Commission will receive two separate grants, each worth $200,000. These grants will be used to conduct community-wide assessments at potential brownfield sites contaminated with hazardous and petroleum substances. Brownfields are abandoned or underused industrial and commercial facilities. This funding is provided through the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and is made possible by the passage of the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act.
Shea-Porter Helps Pass Korean War Veterans Recognition Act
Washington, DC - Congresswoman Carol Shea-Porter voted yesterday in favor of the Korean War Veterans Recognition Act. The bill, which passed the House of Representatives, would require that the American flag be displayed at half-staff on federal buildings on National Korean War Armistice Day.
"This bill recognizes the tremendous sacrifices of the 6.8 million Americans who served during the Korean War," said Congresswoman Shea-Porter. "My uncle was in the Korean War and I am pleased that Congress honored him and all of the other Korean War veterans."
The Korean War, which has been called the "Forgotten War," lasted only three years, yet the U.S. suffered 54,246 casualties and more than 8,000 POW/MIAs still remain.
