Colorado Receives $47 Million in Delayed Drought Mitigation Funds

Colorado Receives $47 Million in Delayed Drought Mitigation Funds

The federal government has released $47 million in funding to support four critical drought mitigation projects in Colorado, addressing the impacts of an ongoing severe drought and the challenges facing the Colorado River Basin. This funding, originally allocated under the 2022 Inflation Reduction Act (IRA), was delayed for over a year due to an executive order signed by President Trump in January 2025, which froze IRA-related spending. The funds will be used for stream restoration, wetland reconstruction, and other essential projects, including the Pine River Indian Irrigation Project and drought-resilient infrastructure. U.S. Senators Michael Bennet and John Hickenlooper emphasized the importance of these projects for Colorado's future. Despite this progress, over $90 million in federal drought preparedness funding for the state remains pending, including significant allocations for the Shoshone water rights purchase.
