WASHINGTON — U.S. Rep. Vicente Gonzalez announced communities in the 34th District of Texas will receive a total of $21.2 million from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development’s Office of Community Planning and Development’s annual formula grants.

The total allocations have been provided to the following South Texas cities and counties: Brownsville, $3.8 million; Edinburg, $1 million; Harlingen, $1.2 million; Hidalgo County, $10 million; McAllen, $2.5 million; Pharr, $1.1 million; and San Benito, $333,510.
