Cornyn Requests Coastal Texas Study Approval in Upcoming Water Bill

Statement

U.S. Senator John Cornyn (R-TX) requested the Coastal Texas Protection and Restoration Feasibility Study (Coastal Texas Study) be authorized in the Water Resources Development Act (WRDA), which Congress will consider next year.

"Authorizing the Coastal Texas Study is the next step to ensure our coastal infrastructure can become more resilient and that our Gulf communities are prepared to weather future storms," said Sen. Cornyn. "Given Texas' critical role in powering our country and facilitating trade, protecting our coast isn't just a state or local priority -- it's a national imperative -- and I will continue fighting for Texas' coast to have a strong line of defense."
