In addition to the nearly $5 billion for infrastructure projects, the USACE announced nearly $16 million for Texas on studies for projects to help make the state more resilient to future storms.
This allocation comes as a result of the disaster supplemental passed by Congress earlier this year, and is in addition to the $500 Million announced by the USACE last month.
“The billions allocated to Texas today is welcome news as we continue to rebuild in the aftermath of Hurricane Harvey,” said Governor Abbott. “This funding will go a long way toward future-proofing Texas against another hurricane and strengthening our infrastructure to withstand dangerous flooding. I thank the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, the Texas Congressional Delegation and the Office of Management and Budget for their work in helping rebuild Texas stronger than before.”
