| 摘要： | Just when the waterways industry is celebrating recent funding successes in the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act and the recently passed Water Resources Development Act (WRDA), inflation is complicating the funding picture. The U.S. Senate overwhelmingly voted to give final congressional approval to the 2022 WRDA as part of a must-pass annual defense bill, and it is certain to be signed by President Joe Biden. Among WRDA's most important provisions is a measure making permanent the funding of major projects at a cost-share of 65 percent general federal revenues and 35 percent Inland Waterways Trust Fund, removing a sunset provision that would have had that cost-share expire in 10 years. This is a victory for the inland industry, which was nevertheless hoping for a 75-25 permanent cost-share. According to WCI president and CEO Tracy Zea, the change will allow the Corps to better plan future projects. Meanwhile, waterways advocates in Congress have promised to push for a change to 75-25 in the 2024 session. |
