California Congressman Sam Liccardo is calling on the White House to restore funds that help address coastal erosion.
Last week, Liccardo held a news conference at the Pacifica boardwalk, along with Pacifica Mayor Sue Beckmeyer to announce new legislation that would restore what he called a critical program.
“ Pacifica has already endured the severe impacts of coastal erosion. As we navigate a future of climate-induced natural disasters, we need every penny of prevention, such as Building Resilient Infrastructure and Communities (BRIC) funding, to avoid the painfully pricey pound of cure ,” said Liccardo .
“Instead, Trump stranded vulnerable communities like Pacifica when he froze BRIC funding needed for Pacifica’s Beach Boulevard and many other critical projects .”
Last month, the Trump administration canceled a FEMA grant program designed to boost infrastructure called Building Resilient Infrastructure and Communities (BRIC).
