More than one out of every five dollars of the $126 million Massachusetts is receiving in earmarks from a $410 billion federal spending package is going toward helping to preserve the legacy of the Kennedys - including a multimillion dollar center focused in part on Sen. Edward M. Kennedy’s own legacy.
The bill includes $5.8 million for the planning and design of a building to house a new Edward M. Kennedy Institute for the Senate. The funding may also help support an endowment for the institute.
The spending bill also includes $22 million to expand facilities at the John F. Kennedy Presidential Library & Museum, and $5 million more for a new gateway to the Boston Harbor Islands on the Rose Kennedy Greenway, a park system in downtown Boston named after Kennedy’s mother, on land opened up by the Big Dig highway project.
