Washington
D.C. – U.S. Senator Pat
Toomey (R-Pa.) is lauding the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers' decision to
allocate $1.5 million towards the Presque Isle State Park beach nourishment project in the FY21 Work Plan. Senator Toomey
sent a letter earlier this year to the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers
urging continued federal assistance to this project.
“Presque
Isle State Park offers miles of beautiful coastline for over four million
visitors annually. It is a natural treasure and an economic driver for
northwestern Pennsylvania. The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers' decision to
continue much needed federal assistance will ensure that the beaches of Presque
Isle are properly maintained for future generations. I was happy to offer my
support for this important project.”
