The U.S. Army Corps Engineers’ Philadelphia District will receive approximately $144.5 million in supplemental funding for projects and studies in the Delaware Valley and the coastal plains of Delaware and New Jersey.
The funding is from two recently enacted laws — the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act; and the 2022 Disaster Relief Supplemental Appropriations Act.
On Jan. 19, 2022, the Assistant Secretary of the Army for Civil Works announced the studies, projects, and programs that are receiving funding under the two laws. Nationwide, the laws provide $22.81 billion for the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Civil Works program.
“This funding enables us to maintain navigation channels; repair structures; maintain our infrastructure; and complete studies,” said USACE Philadelphia District Commander Lt. Col. Ramon Brigantti . “We look forward to working with our partners to implement the funds in our region.”
Some of the projects that will receive the funding are:
