Strong Ports, Strong Communities Act

This bill creates a new grant program to fund community infrastructure projects near land ports of entry. It directly assists state, tribal, local governments, and nonprofit utilities within 25 miles of a land port, focusing on transportation, water, waste, utility, or environmental projects affected by port operations. Key provisions include a 30% local funding match (reduced or waived for rural areas or security-focused projects) and reimbursement for eligible projects completed after November 2021. The program prioritizes projects improving border security, trade efficiency, community resilience, and U.S. Customs and Border Protection personnel quality of life, as outlined in DHS guidance.
