RELEASE: KHANNA, ESHOO SECURE $1.5 MILLION FOR SAN FRANCISCO BAY SHORELINE RESTORATION

WASHINGTON, D.C. – Today, Representatives Ro Khanna (CA-17) and Anna G. Eshoo (CA-18) announced that $1.5 million from the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law will be directed to the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers to make critical advancements on the South San Francisco Bay Shoreline Project (Shoreline Project) Phase III.

"I am proud to deliver this funding for the South San Francisco Bay Shoreline Study to provide flood risk management for communities along the South Bay shoreline and restore the health of the Bay. These funds will directly improve the lives of constituents and make our communities safer and more resilient to the threats posed by coastal flooding," said Khanna.

"I'm proud to have secured this funding from the Army Corps to continue this vital project to protect our shoreline from rising sea levels and to restore tidal wetlands in the South Bay. This project will protect thousands of at-risk homes and businesses in our community from coastal flooding and help preserve critical ecosystems," said Eshoo.

The Members of Congress representing Santa Clara County wrote to the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers in December to request funding for this project. A PDF of the letter can be found here.
