Bill information
Summary
A bill to establish a working waterfronts grant program.
Plain-language summary
This bill creates a grant program to help preserve working waterfronts—areas where commercial fishing, shipping, and other water-based businesses operate. The grants would support states and communities in keeping these waterfronts active for their intended purposes rather than allowing them to be converted to residential or tourist development. The bill is sponsored by four senators from coastal states and is currently in the introduction stage, meaning it has not yet been assigned to a for review.
