What the Omnibus/Stimulus means for coastal?

December 22, 2020asbpa_edAppropriations, Army Corps, Coronavirus, U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, WRDA

Late on Monday, December 21st, Congress passed a major package of legislation, including most prominently the FY21 federal budget and a $900 billion COVID economic stimulus.  Importantly for coastal communities, this bill also included the 2020 Water Resources Development Act (WRDA).

The federal FY21 budget is operating under a Continuing Resolution (CR) through December 11. Before then, Congress must agree to a budget or the government will shut down (which certainly feels on-brand for 2020, but at this point both House and Senate would like to avoid). Adding to the challenge is the lingering question whether…
