U.S. Army Corps Of Engineers Allocates $500 Million For Texas Projects

The funding will also provide resources for extensive studies of the Texas coastline to help make the state more resilient to future storms.

This funding allocation is in addition to the disaster relief funding for Texas previously announced by the USACE.

“With Hurricane Harvey’s devastation still fresh in our minds, and the next hurricane season upon us, the State of Texas is urgently focused on making our infrastructure more resilient to future storms,” said Governor Abbott. “This funding is essential to those efforts and to help minimize the loss of human lives and damage to infrastructure and property. I thank the USACE, Texas congressional delegation and the Office of Management and Budget for recognizing the critical importance of these projects, and I look forward to their completion.”
