Dear Friend,
If you live in North Texas, you’ve probably spent some time at White Rock Lake. Open spaces and waterways like White Rock Lake are a big part of what makes North Texas a great place to live. That’s why I am so proud we secured authorization for $100 million in federal funding Dallas County which includes the White Rock Lake dredging project and more improvements to bolster our water infrastructure.
The Water Resources Development Act of 2024 authorizes projects every two years to improve critical water resources infrastructure to protect human health, restore natural ecosystems and boost the economy. As a member of the Transportation and Infrastructure Committee in Congress, I made sure that Texas priorities like the White Rock Lake dredging project were included in the bill.
North Texas is rapidly growing and this bill will supports the substantial investments we need to respond to local water resource demands. Upgrading our critical water infrastructure isn't optional for our region -- it is a necessity. I look forward to the final passage of the Water Resources Development Act and will continue working to bring more investments home to North Texas.
Sincerely,
Colin Allred
Member of Congress
