Plain-English Summary

The federal government would provide grants to help cities and towns repair, upgrade, or strengthen their public piers to better withstand damage from storms, flooding, and other environmental threats. These grants would be part of an existing transportation program focused on making infrastructure more resilient and cost-effective. Local governments and port communities would be the main beneficiaries of this funding.
