Senator Rick Scott has urged the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers to prioritize funding for coastal storm risk management projects here in Florida, which have been delayed due to bureaucratic setbacks. In a letter to Lieutenant General William Graham, Scott emphasized the urgency of timely restoration for Florida’s vulnerable coastal communities, which have suffered significant damage from recent hurricanes. Scott called for swift action to fortify the state’s beaches, crucial for both protection and the economy, before the next hurricane season begins.
