Joyce | J000295 | joyce.house.gov | joyce | https://joyce.house.gov/press | scraper | WASHINGTON, D.C. – Today, Congressman Dave Joyce (OH-14) released the following statement after the stop-work order for the Brandon Road Interbasin Project was lifted. The Brandon Road project is a $1.15 billion federal-local partnership intended to stop the continued spread of invasive carp up the Mississippi River Basin toward the Great Lakes. The project has received support from President Trump, who signed a presidential memorandum in 2025 directing federal agencies to expedite support and infrastructure for the project. “The Great Lakes are one of our region’s greatest assets, and we have a responsibility to protect them. That means taking the threat of invasive carp seriously and making sure the Brandon Road Interbasin Project moves forward. The Great Lakes Task Force Co-Chairs and I sent letters to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) and the Army Corps urging them to lift the stop-work order, while I also spoke directly with OMB Director Russell Vought about the project. I appreciate the Director’s attention to this issue and his willingness to work with us. I will continue working with my colleagues and the Administration to find a path forward that protects the Great Lakes and the communities that rely on them.” “Addressing the threat of invasive carp is about more than one project. It is about preserving a resource that defines our region and supports millions of people. We have an opportunity to get this right, and we should seize it.” ### | 1 | 2026-09-05T08:49:07Z | 2026-09-05T08:50:44Z |
