Congressional push for Corps action of NESP on Mississippi River

A bipartisan group of members of Congress wrote to the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers urging it to prioritize funding for the Navigation and Ecosystem Sustainability Program on the Upper Mississippi River. The letter notes that the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act provides $2.5 billion for inland waterways as a category, but not yet for specific projects such as Lock and Dam 25, LaGrange and Lock and Dam 24.
