Federal Congressionally Directed Spending Requests
At a glance
Based on auto-generated captions; names and numbers may be misheard.
- What: Aurora's FY2027 Congressionally Directed Spending requests: a wildland fire rig for the Eastern Plains and a roof replacement for the Aurora Regional Navigation Campus.
- Where it stands: Senate appropriations bills have not been posted, so the city cannot yet see where its projects landed. Release is now expected after November 3.
- Also tracked: a water resources bill item for Acorn Street, reported as $15.6 million in the House version and $10 million in the Senate version (captions may garble the amounts); the hope is the House figure holds in conference.
- Timing: Congress has roughly 25 legislative days between the election and December 11, when the current continuing resolution expires, so a quick turnaround is expected.
