"I'm proud of the $500,000 in federal grant funds the EPA awarded to the City of Houston for their community air monitoring projects," said Congresswoman Sylvia Garcia. "This will help improve Houston's local air quality and educate residents on the hazards of air pollutants. These funds are a direct result of President Biden's Bipartisan Infrastructure Law and the Inflation Reduction Act. I strongly supported both laws in Congress because I knew it would help communities like ours. I look forward to seeing the positive impact this grant will bring to Houston neighborhoods."
