Pineville Mayor Bishop spent time in Washington, D.C., this week meeting with members of the state’s congressional delegation and federal grant-writing partners to advocate for key projects benefiting the city.

During a full day of meetings on Capitol Hill, Bishop focused on securing discretionary funding to support redevelopment of the former Central State Hospital site. City officials aim to transform the historic property into a central hub for future growth and community use.

In addition to the hospital project, the mayor also sought federal grant funding for several infrastructure initiatives designed to improve neighborhoods and enhance local services.

City officials said the efforts are part of an ongoing push to secure federal resources needed to advance major projects and support long-term growth in Pineville. Further updates are expected as discussions continue.
