Key Points

Congress would extend the Delaware River Basin restoration grant program through 2032 instead of ending in 2023.
The bill would officially treat the Delaware River Basin program as a 5-state effort by adding Maryland to the list of basin states.
It would let the federal agency running the grants give priority to projects that help small, rural, or disadvantaged communities.
For people in the region, this could mean continued funding for local projects that improve water quality, protect habitats, and support community needs.
