Maryland receives $30 million in federal funding for water infrastructure
U.S. Senators Chris Van Hollen and Angela Alsobrooks announced $29,636,000 in direct federal funding for Maryland water infrastructure and Chesapeake Bay restoration projects. The near $30 million in funds will be distributed to 28 projects in the state. The projects aim to improve the safety and reliability of drinking water infrastructure, modernize stormwater management systems and preserve historic sites in communities across Maryland.
“The Chesapeake Bay is the heart of Maryland, and Senator Van Hollen and I are committed to protecting it. The conservation and sustainable use of the Bay benefits not just Maryland, but the entire nation, given its economic, ecological and historical significance. The Bay feeds commerce, supports ecosystems, and sustains communities across the mid-Atlantic. We will keep fighting to invest in our state, economy and environment,” said Senator Alsobrooks.
