Waterfront Community Revitalization and Resiliency Act of 2018

Bill 115 s 3265, also known as the Waterfront Community Revitalization and Resiliency Act of 2018, aims to support and enhance the development of waterfront communities across the United States. The bill focuses on promoting economic growth, environmental sustainability, and community resilience in these areas.

One key aspect of the bill is the establishment of a grant program to provide funding for projects that improve waterfront infrastructure, such as ports, marinas, and recreational facilities. These projects are intended to create jobs, attract investment, and enhance the overall quality of life in waterfront communities.

Additionally, the bill includes provisions to protect and preserve natural resources along the waterfront, such as wetlands, beaches, and wildlife habitats. This is important for maintaining the ecological health of these areas and ensuring that they remain viable for future generations. Another important component of the bill is the promotion of resiliency measures to help waterfront communities better withstand and recover from natural disasters, such as hurricanes and flooding. This includes funding for infrastructure improvements, emergency preparedness planning, and community outreach efforts. Overall, the Waterfront Community Revitalization and Resiliency Act of 2018 seeks to support the sustainable development of waterfront communities, while also protecting their natural resources and enhancing their ability to withstand environmental challenges.
