WASHINGTON – Congressman French Hill (AR-02) issued the following statement after supporting the Water Resources Development Act (WRDA), which passed by 408-2, to strengthen Arkansas and the nation’s infrastructure and enhance economic development across the country:
“With more than $4 billion in commerce traveling up and down the Arkansas River each year, waterways are a key part of Arkansas’s economy. The House’s passing of this water resources bill means Arkansas’s infrastructure will be able to support an increased volume of goods coming through our ports and bring more jobs to our state. I am particularly interested in the results of theNational Academy of Sciences study on the structure of the Army Corps of Engineers and their recommendations.”
