Congressman Veasey Announces $403 Million in New Funding for Trinity River Project from Bipartisan Infrastructure Law

WASHINGTON – Congressman Marc Veasey (TX-33) today announced that as part of the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers will invest $14 billion of funding in fiscal year 2022 for over 500 projects across 52 states and territories, including $403 million dollars for the Trinity River Vision/Central City flood control project. The funding from today's announcement will be used to help projects like the Trinity River Vision/Central City flood control project by increasing climate resilience and making long-overdue improvements at ports and waterways, as well as securing additional funds through supplemental appropriations to help impacted states and Tribes recover and become more resilient to natural disasters.

"The Trinity River flood control project is a critical piece of infrastructure that will provide needed flood protection and growth opportunities to Fort Worth," said Congressman Marc Veasey (TX-33). "Earlier in the 117th Congress, I was pleased to vote for the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law and work with both local partners and the Biden-Harris Administration to secure key funding for this project. I will keep working to ensure the success of this project and that other funding will come to North Texas to help our economy grow and make long-overdue improvements to our nation's infrastructure."
