Lake County is coming out ahead in the latest round of federal project funding. Congressman Mike Thompson secured more than 13 million dollars for projects across his district, with millions directed to a new Habematolel Pomo community center, road improvements in South Lakeport, and expanded public safety cameras in Clearlake. Local officials say the investments will boost infrastructure, improve safety, and support long-term economic growth. The money is part of the annual Community Project Funding process, where lawmakers compete to bring federal dollars back home.
