Congresswoman Corrine Brown and Congressman Ander Crenshaw are still pushing to get the project for the deepening of the St. Johns River in the Water Resources Development Act Conference Report.
The legislators sent a bipartisan Congressional delegation letter to the House and Senate Transportation Committee Chairs and Ranking Members asking for contingency language in the conference report to authorize U.S. Army Corps of Engineers projects that receive a final Chief’s report up to one year after enactment of the bill, according to a news release.
If accepted, this change would allow Jaxport to prepare the port for larger modern ships set to arrive in 2015.
