From: Bob Carey <br />Subject: Action Needed by 11/3: Floodplains by Design sign -on letter! <br />Date: Monday, October 19, 2020 1:01:41 PM <br />Attachments: FbD letter to Goyemor for FY21-23 capital budget funding.pdf <br />Dear Floodplains by Design Network, <br />It's that time again: time to urge Governor Inslee and the Legislature to support the Department of <br />Ecology's $70 million capital budget request for Floodplains by Design. <br />Last biennium, Floodplains by Design received more funding than it ever has before: $50.4 million <br />was allocated to support integrated river management projects that are reducing flood risk to <br />homes, farms and businesses, restoring fish habitat and enhancing recreation opportunities. This is <br />thanks in large part to a groundswell of supporters like you! <br />This year may look a little different, but we know that the benefits Floodplains by Design brings to <br />communities across Washington are as crucial as they've ever been to the resilience of our river <br />systems, our economy and our communities. To once again demonstrate the breadth of support for <br />Floodplains by Design, we are asking elected officials, tribes, local governments, conservation <br />organizations, salmon recovery groups, flood control districts, farmers and other individuals and <br />groups to sign on to a letter in support of this bnenniUM!s S70 million capital budget request. <br />We will send the letter to Governor Inslee in early November, when he will be writing his budget. <br />We will send identical letters to capital budget writers in both Legislative chambers once session is <br />underway in January. <br />Please visit the sign -on form here to add your name and/or the name of a group or government <br />you represent by November 3rd. If you have any questions or trouble with the form, contact <br />brittany.gal IagherCrDtnc.ore_ <br />Once you've signed on, please forward the letter to others you know who support Floodplains by <br />Design! <br />Thank you for all you do. <br />Bob Carey <br />Pronouns: he/him <br />Strategic Partnerships <br />Director <br />cargy@tnc.ora <br />(360)333-1898 <br />The Nature Conservancy <br />410 N. 4th Street <br />Mount Vernon, WA 98273 <br />
