The USACE Baltimore District received more than $97 million from the Fiscal Year 2022 Consolidated Appropriations Act, signed into law by President Biden on March 15, 2022.
This will provide necessary funding for construction and operations and maintenance missions across the mid-Atlantic region, including local dredging projects; critical environmental restoration that benefits the Chesapeake Bay and Anacostia watersheds; and essential slope stabilization efforts at Morgan State University.
“This funding is essential to honor our commitments to our partners and communities to restore and protect our local ecosystems, reduce flood risk and keep our waterways open for safe navigation and commerce,” said Col. Estee Pinchasin , Baltimore District commander.
“It will enable our team the opportunity to improve upon existing waterway infrastructure and produce long-term benefits for our region.”
