With a boost from the White House, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers announced the studies, projects and programs it will implement in fiscal year 2022 with the historic $22.81 billion in supplemental funding provided by two recently enacted laws. A separate White House fact sheet stated the Corps will invest $14 billion to "strengthen port and waterway supply chains and bolster climate resilience." More than 500 projects across 52 states and territories will be funded. According to the Corps, future announcements will cover spending in subsequent years, but those will continue to support the administration's goals of expanding access to Americas ports through dredging as well as building resilience, benefitting economically disadvantaged communities and advancing environmental justice. The White House highlighted the Corps' commitment of $4 billion to expand capacity at key ports, allow passage of larger vessels and enhance the movement of goods. |
