Congressman C.A. Dutch Ruppersberger last week supported more than $48.6 million in federal funding to protect Maryland’s environment and keep commerce moving through the Chesapeake Bay and Baltimore Harbor.
“ The Chesapeake Bay and Baltimore Harbor are among Maryland’s greatest natural and economic resources ,” Congressman Ruppersberger said. “ We must protect these resources so that our children and grandchildren can enjoy them and so that they can continue to provide hundreds of thousands of quality jobs for Marylanders.”
The bill included money for the following projects:
The Senate must pass and the President must sign the Energy and Water Development Appropriations Act before it becomes law.
