Show full summary
- Great Lakes communities: One center would be located in and focused on the Great Lakes region, steering research and technology toward local stormwater problems and resilience needs.
- Research institutions and universities: The program would be fixed at exactly five Centers of Excellence, which limits how many institutions can host a center and shape competition for IIJA program support.
- Federal program and funding timeline: The bill would move the authorization period for these centers to fiscal years 2027 through 2031, extending the window for appropriations without changing funding amounts.
