The Great Lakes Commission’s 2025 Federal Priorities reflect well-established needs and opportunities for strengthening the economic and environmental health of the Great Lakes basin. They enjoy broad support among state and local leaders, business and industry, and the environmental community.
Restoring and protecting the Great Lakes is an enduring, bipartisan priority for the nation and for Great Lakes and St. Lawrence River basin communities. Our organizations support these priorities to ensure the Great Lakes are a source of drinking water, an environmental treasure, and an economic engine now and into the future.
