“The House-passed version of WRDA authorizes $80 million in funding for the Seventh Congressional District. If that funding stands, the legislation will establish a framework for Congress to appropriate up to $80 million for these projects in future energy and water development appropriations bills. H.R. 9497 will now go to the U.S. Senate for further consideration.”
Unverified model/legacy excerpt; not proof. AI summary (separate from source): Fry announced House passage and district-specific WRDA authorizations, but the quoted text says the funding still depends on Senate action and future appropriations, so delivery remains unresolved while documenting effort.
