Sen. Britt secures millions in funding for Port of Mobile projects
<[link removed]>
U.S. Senator Katie Britt is working hard to make sure that the Port of Mobile
is both a vital economic artery for the region and a place of protection for
its natural resources.
Over the past year to achieve the goal, she has been working in conjunction
with the Alabama Port Authority and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) to
secure additional beneficial use opportunities to help to deepen and widen the
Port of Mobile’s ship channel and also conduct ongoing ship channel maintenance.
To that end, Britt has announced three major projects, satisfying both
economic and conservatory interests. The projects include an additional $47
million for USACE operations and maintenance of the Mobile Ship Channel,
funding for a federal study to analyze sediment flows to ensure that dredge
material is used beneficially, and language in the 2024 Water Resources
Development Act (WRDA) to ensure beneficial use of dredge material to protect
Alabama’s natural resources.

Sens. Britt, Kaine push for bipartisan solutions to child care crisis
<[link removed]>
In a recent op-ed published by Fox News, U.S. Senators Katie Britt, R-Ala.,
and Tim Kaine, D-Va., laid out their bold, bipartisan proposal aimed at
tackling the growing child care crisis that is plaguing families across
America, particularly in their home states of Alabama and Virginia.
The Senators emphasize the urgent need for solutions, citing that more than
half of American families reside in “child care deserts,” where the lack of
available care forces parents onto long waitlists and leaves them grappling
with the high costs once a spot is secured. “The national average price of
child care was $11,582 in 2023,” the Senators write, highlighting that in
Virginia, “families pay some of the highest costs of child care in the
country,” with expenses for center-based infant care exceeding $15,000 annually.
