Coastal Georgia Flooding Prevention Act

The Coastal Georgia Flooding Prevention Act allocates $5 million for environmental infrastructure projects, including stormwater management systems, in six Georgia counties: Glynn, Chatham, Bryan, Effingham, McIntosh, and Camden. This funding is added to the Water Resources Development Act of 1992 as a new provision specifically targeting these counties. The bill directly affects local governments and communities in these areas by providing resources to upgrade water and wastewater infrastructure. The key mechanism is a dedicated funding line item for flood-prevention infrastructure improvements in the specified counties.
