Army Corps Announces Billions for Civil Works Projects 

On January 19, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers released its Civil Works studies, projects, and programs that will be implemented by the recently enacted Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (also known as the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law) and a separate disaster supplemental. Taken together these two laws have provided the Army Corps with $22.81 billion in supplemental funding. According to the White House, more than $14 billion of this funding will be allocated for FY 2022 for over 500 projects across 52 states and territories. These projects will focus on improvements at ports and waterways to address the supply chain backlog and recovery and resiliency investments to areas recently impacted by natural disasters.
