NGA supports LWCF re-authorization now!!

 

Land and Water Conservation Fund (LWCF)
For decades, governors have used LWCF grants to fund parks and other outdoor recreation initiatives. This program has been an instrumental tool for states to address their conservation needs. We encourage you to quickly reach an agreement on reauthorization. Any lapse would create budgetary uncertainties for states that rely on LWCF to support recreation and conservation initiatives.

Cooperative federalism between states and the federal government requires compromise and casting aside partisanship in pursuit of positive results for citizens that depend on the uninterrupted services our governments provide.

Governors have great faith that cooperative federalism will occur on the programs addressed in this letter and continually stand ready to assist as Congress works on behalf of the American people.
