Port Awarded New Funding to Study Waterfront

Flood and Earthquake Risk

On January 19, Speaker Pelosi announced $5 million in new funding for the Port of San Francisco and U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) to complete the USACE San Francisco Waterfront Coastal Flood Study. The funding was secured through the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law and will cover the cost of completing the federal government's share of the study. The USACE San Francisco Waterfront Coastal Flood Study covers the full 7.5 miles of waterfront within the Port's jurisdiction and is one of several coordinated waterfront resilience activities being undertaken with federal, state, and local agencies.
