The Office of the Assistant Secretary of the Army for Civil Works announced August 1 additional Corps of Engineers studies and projects funded through the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law (BIL), the Disaster Relief Supplemental Appropriations Act (DRSAA) of 2022 and the DRSAA of 2023. Together, these actions invest more than $454 million to help communities reduce their flood risks from coastal storms and to restore delicate aquatic ecosystems. "The transformative investments funded through President Biden's Bipartisan Infrastructure Law and the 2022 and 2023 Disaster Relief Supplemental Appropriations Acts continue to meet the president's priorities of protecting the nation's economic competitiveness as well as our most vulnerable communities," said Michael L. Connor, assistant secretary of the Army for civil works. The updated BIL Construction spending plan provides approximately $27 million to complete construction of the Wood River (Illinois) Levee, Deficiency Correction and Reconstruction. |
