Bill overview
This bill, the Remote, Coastal, and Small Watersheds Act of 2020, allows the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers to recommend projects for hurricane and storm damage reduction in remote, coastal, and small watersheds. The Corps can recommend these projects even if they aren’t primarily justified by national economic development, focusing instead on the safety, economic well-being, and social value to the affected communities. Projects in Hawaii, Alaska, Puerto Rico, and other U.S. territories, or areas with high cost of living, are prioritized.
