Lower Connecticut River Partnership Act

The Lower Connecticut River Partnership Act (H.R. 4721) would authorize the Department of the Interior to provide federal funding and technical expertise to Connecticut and Massachusetts for the management of the Connecticut River and its surrounding watershed. This legislation aims to support local conservation efforts, improve water quality, and protect the natural resources of the river basin through a formal partnership between state and federal agencies. For residents of the region, the bill is intended to enhance the long-term environmental health and sustainable use of the river's ecosystem.
