When waterways like Slaughter Creek become difficult to navigate, it directly affects the people and businesses that rely on them,” said Harris.

“This funding allows long-delayed dredging to move forward and restore reliable access for commercial and recreational vessels.”

Slaughter Creek has faced long-standing navigation challenges, with reduced channel depth limiting access for commercial and recreational vessels.

According to Harris, this funding allows long-delayed dredging to move forward and improve navigation.
