Broward lands transport funding from feds
Broward County officials said Thursday that the Omnibus Appropriations Bill passed by Congress this week included funding for infrastructure improvements at both Port Everglades and Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport.
The federal spending bill included $703,000 for Southport dredging reimbursements, $492,000 for the Port Everglades harbor study, and $1.2 million for shore protection reimbursements. The airport will receive $960,000 for terminal air traffic control facilities and replacements.
An unrelated international item included $2.5 million in reimbursements for security costs incurred during the 2005 Organization of American States General Assembly that was held in Fort Lauderdale.
