Congressman Fitzgerald shares our commitment to restoring the dam and has made it a priority by offering his full support to the Village of Neosho’s request for federal funding through a Transportation, Housing and Urban Development Community Funding Project for Fiscal Year 2027. You can find the project description and the Congressman’s letter of support on our website for your reference.
This project was included in the FY27 appropriations approved by the House Appropriations Subcommittee for Transportation, Housing and Urban Development at the end of May (see page 254 of 257). As you may already be aware, the federal government funds its operations through 12 separate appropriations bills, and this process is how projects like ours receive congressional approval. There are still several steps remaining—each appropriations bill must pass both chambers of Congress and then be signed into law by the president.
If you’d like to follow the progress, the bill is on Congress.gov, and you can sign up for alerts related to this bill if you create an account. This website may be easier to set up tracking of a bill, but it is not a government website.
Thank you again for your interest and support.
