The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Kansas City District is set to receive approximately $278 million under the Infrastructure and Investment Jobs Act (IIJA) for the Missouri River works and nearby lakes.
According to the Corps, approx. $249 million of that is to repair damages caused by the 2019 flood to the Bank Stabilization and Navigation Project along the Missouri River (within the district boundary) from Rulo, Neb. to St. Louis, Mo.
In addition to Missouri River repairs, several lakes in the Heartland area will benefit from the IIJA.
