Maryland Congressman Andy Harris has announced $4,785,000 in federal funding for the Slaughter Creek Dredging Project in Slaughter Creek, secured through the Energy & Water Development appropriations bill for the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers.
“ When waterways like Slaughter Creek become difficult to navigate, it directly affects the people and businesses that rely on them ,” said Harris .
“This funding allows long-delayed dredging to move forward and restore reliable access for commercial and recreational vessels.”
Slaughter Creek has faced long-standing navigation challenges, with reduced channel depth limiting access for commercial and recreational vessels.
According to Harris, this funding allows long-delayed dredging to move forward and improve navigation.
