Waterfront Community Revitalization and Resiliency Act of 2024

The Waterfront Community Revitalization and Resiliency Act of 2024 establishes a program to help coastal and Great Lakes communities with working waterfronts develop resilience plans. It creates a "Resilient Waterfront Community" designation for eligible local governments, tribes, and other covered entities that submit community-driven plans addressing economic opportunities, environmental challenges, and infrastructure needs. The bill authorizes special grants to support plan development and implementation of projects like public amenities, infrastructure upgrades, and green infrastructure. Designated communities will receive technical assistance, access to a best practices network, and opportunities to apply for federal funding to support waterfront revitalization and resilience efforts.
