Tenney announces passage of the Water Resources Development Act of 2018<\/strong><\/p>\n

Congresswoman Claudia Tenney (NY-22) announced the passage of the\u00a0Water Resources Development Act of 2018<\/a>. WRDA will strengthen flood protection, improve waterway navigation in the 22nd\u00a0District, and reform the Army Corps of Engineers. It will empower state and local governments to begin investing their own funds to accelerate permitting and construction activities.<\/p>\n

\u201cLack of local control in states like New York have prohibited local governments from effectively managing our water infrastructure,\u201d Tenney said. \u201cNew York has hindered local governments from repairing or cleaning waterways at risk of flooding while failing to invest in sustainable and effective flood mitigation. Meanwhile, families and property owners continue to experience the same devastating damage from flooding year after year.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe federal government is taking action to upgrade and invest in infrastructure, including flood protection. It\u2019s encouraging to see Congress reinforcing the need for more sustainable and effective flood mitigation programs. Importantly, this bill will provide necessary funding and makes vital improvements to our water resource infrastructure.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
