Washington, D.C. — U.S. Senators Marco Rubio (R-FL) and Rick Scott (R-FL) applauded the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers for supporting Florida’s priorities in their Fiscal Year 2021 work plan. The work plan includes funding for water resource and navigation projects that are of importance to communities throughout the state, and also builds upon the recent, unprecedented progress towards the restoration of Florida’s Everglades through projects like the Central Everglades Planning Project (CEPP). Yesterday, Rubio and Scott sent a letter to R.D. James, the Assistant Secretary of the Army for Civil Works, outlining their priorities for the work plan.
“This work plan provides critical funding for Everglades restoration, as well as vital maintenance and construction funding that will allow our ports to continue to meet the demands of Florida’s growing population,” Rubio said. “I am thankful for the Army Corps’ inclusion of many of the funding priorities that Senator Scott and I requested, and I look forward to seeing the benefits come to fruition.”
“I’m glad to see the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers prioritize many Florida projects in their upcoming work plan, including funding for Everglades restoration projects,” Scott said. “These important projects will build on our efforts to protect our environment and ensure future generations can enjoy all our state has to offer.”
