Neguse Passes $1 Million for Pulliam Community Building Renovations Through the House

Washington, D.C.—Today, Congressman Neguse passed $1 million in federal funding for renovations to the Pulliam Community Building through the U.S. House of Representatives. The funding would allow the City of Loveland to renovate a community building that they anticipate will serve as a key shelter and resource distribution center during wildfires and other disasters.

In total, Congressman Neguse secured over $7 million in funding for community projects in his district to be included in the end of year spending bill.

“Restoring the Pulliam Community Building will be tremendously important to the success of Loveland’s emergency response efforts,” said Congressman Neguse. “When wildfires, extreme weather events, or other natural disasters strike, a central location where folks who are affected can seek resources and shelter is essential. This funding will help make the Pulliam Community Building a safe, accessible gathering place, and I am pleased that our funding request for this project has passed the House.”

A renovated Pulliam Community Building would provide a disaster shelter for displaced citizens that would minimize the loss of lives experienced by the City of Loveland and surrounding communities during disasters. Additionally, the city-owned property would help build community by providing meeting and community space at an affordable cost to local clubs and residents.
