The vice president announced that $562 million will be spent on 149 projects around the country aimed at improving resilience to threats such as rising seas and the kinds of coastal flooding that recently slammed the southeast part of the state.
Vice President Kamala Harris waves as she arrives at Miami International Airport, Friday, April 21, 2023, in Miami. Harris traveled to Miami on Friday to announce funding for climate change resiliency projects across the U.S.
"When we invest in climate, we not only protect our environment, we also strengthen our economy," Harris said in a tweet during her Miami visit. Florida would get about $78 million for projects ranging from oyster habitat restoration in Pensacola Bay to flood protection in Jacksonville to removal of 200,000 tires from Tampa Bay and the Gulf of Mexico that were submerged decades ago as artificial reefs.
The vice president's visit comes as Fort Lauderdale and its suburbs have been recovering from an April 12 deluge that dumped up to 2 feet of rain, flooding homes and businesses while forcing the closure of Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport and disrupting gas distribution operations at Port Everglades that led to vehicle fuel shortages for days afterwards across the southern part of Florida.
