On Jan. 8, the U.S. House of Representatives advanced a bipartisan appropriations act to secure funding for projects in Nevada. The act allocates $17.8 million for 10 locally driven projects across Northern Nevada. The package includes funding for projects relating to Commerce, Justice, Science, Energy and Water Development, Interior, and Environment.
According to Rep. Mark Amodei (R-NV), “This package focuses on priorities that matter to Americans nationwide. It invests in public safety, supports access to affordable and reliable energy, strengthens deterrence against foreign adversaries, ensures national parks remain open and accessible, responsibly stewards taxpayer dollars, fully funds programs families and communities rely on, and much more.”
Commerce, Justice, and Science funding money went to the City of Reno, Douglas County, and Washoe County. The allocated project funding totals $5,600,000.
Reno-Sparks Indian Colony, Gardnerville Ranchos General Improvement District, City of Fernley, City of Elko, Lyon County, and the City of West Wendover are to receive funding included under the “Interior and Environment” section of this bill. The interior project funding for these communities totals $12,162,000.
Amodei’s office reported that this package is part of an agreement that keeps total FY26 spending below the level projected under the current continuing resolution, delivering real savings for American taxpayers. “With a few bills still to finalize, the passage of three additional Fiscal Year 2026 appropriations bills sets the year off on a strong footing…,” said Amodei.
