Evidence from credible sources supports the statement as accurate. Learn more in Methodology.
Documentary evidence from the referenced prior administration shows a developed plan for Osceola Camp infrastructure protection/replacement and includes an estimated cost up to $14 million.
Independent federal documents confirm that, under the Biden administration, federal agencies developed a specific plan for Osceola Camp that matches the description in the claim. A 2023 National Park Service Environmental Assessment describes the "Miccosukee Tribe of Indians of Florida Osceola Camp Cure Plan," a federally funded project to "protect the existing facilities, functions and residences" at Osceola Camp from flooding by elevating ground and structures, re‑establishing roads, and replacing utilities.
Separately, the Senate Committee on Indian Affairs’ report on S.2783, the Miccosukee Reserved Area Amendments Act, explains that the bill would authorize the Department of the Interior, in consultation with the Miccosukee Tribe, to take actions to protect structures at Osceola Camp from flooding and authorize appropriations "not to exceed $14 million" for that purpose, with CBO noting the same $14 million ceiling. These documents show that the prior (Biden) administration did in fact develop a federal plan to protect and upgrade Osceola Camp infrastructure with an estimated cost cap of up to $14 million, matching the substance of the statement.
Therefore, the verdict is True because federal planning documents and congressional materials independently corroborate both the existence and scope of the Osceola Camp plan and its cost ceiling of up to $14 million, consistent with the claim.
