Galveston’s federal harbor dredging is fully funded

Thanks to support by congressmen Randy Weber, Mike Collins and many Port of Galveston partners, Galveston Harbor has received critical maintenance dredging funding for Fiscal Year 2025. Congressman Weber announced recently that Congress approved $47,975,000 in the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers budget for Galveston Harbor and the entrance channel to Galveston Bay.

This may be the largest federal amount ever budgeted for Galveston Harbor and entrance channel maintenance work. I believe this reflects the recognition of the critical importance of our maritime operations and of our unified voice in Washington, D.C.
