How Corrine Brown has helped the community

During the past several years Congresswoman Corrine Brown successfully fought to secure tens of millions of dollars needed for massive improvements to the Port of Jacksonville.

The money is being used to make the shipping channel, wider, deeper, easier to navigate to accommodate new larger ships and to add a state-of-the-art freight, rail terminal. This investment will bring nearly 40,000 jobs to North Florida over the next few years.

That is just one of many ways Congresswoman Corrine Brown has delivered to our community. Some of her other successful projects included:

·         Providing funds to replace Jacksonville’s Fuller Warren Bridge.

·         Bringing Head Start pre-K education back to Jacksonville.

·         Reworking the funding formula to get Florida 25 percent more money from federal gas taxes for transportation projects

·         Securing more than $1 billion for expansion and improvements at the airports in Jacksonville, Gainesville and Orlando

·         Securing nearly $1 billion to create the SunRail commuter train system in Orlando

·         Securing more than $500 million to build and improve VA hospital and medical facilities on Jacksonville, Gainesville, Orlando and Tampa.

·         Securing $100 million to build a new federal courthouse in Jacksonville

·         Hosting district job fairs that served 10,000 people annually

·         Working with a non-profit group to help nearly 1 million people throughout the country reduce their mortgages to save their homes from foreclosure

·         Serving on the Congressional Committee that approved $325 billion for transportation projects through 2021
