Ahead of Congress’s final consideration of the 2020 Water Resources Development Act (WRDA), Rep. Greg Stanton, D-Ariz., hosted a roundtable with local leaders, including a Pinal County mayor and other stakeholders to discuss the bill’s impact in Arizona communities.
The bill unanimously passed the House of Representatives last week and included several provisions to benefit Arizona that were championed by Stanton.
WRDA will invest in critical Arizona infrastructure through projects overseen by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. The final package included $150 million for a new Arizona-centered environmental infrastructure program, a provision based on Stanton’s Environmental Infrastructure Assistance Act.
