The City of Kansas City, Missouri and Johnson County, Kansas have contributed significant local resources toward the completion of the flood mitigation and related stream work along Brush Creek.

Funding is requested to continue the collaborative effort of developing a Watershed Management Plan that coordinates planning and project efforts between a large number of local government jurisdictions in both Kansas and Missouri.

It is important that adequate funding be provided to collect the relevant data, coordinate among the many stakeholders, and establish cost sharing relationships needed to move forward with an integrated watershed based approach to manage both water quality and water quantity along Brush Creek.
