WSBT: Upton works with Army Corps for emergency dredging of St. Joseph harbor

On December 20, Congressman Fred Upton (R-St. Joseph) joined the United States Army of Corps of Engineers in announcing $100,000 in emergency funding to dredge the St. Joseph harbor. Over the past weeks, Upton has worked closely with local dock owners, Berrien County officials, and the Corps to reach a solution. The harbor has recently become inaccessible to commercial traffic on account of severe shoaling. Ensuring the St. Joseph harbor remains open and ready for businesses is essential to jobs and growth in southwest Michigan.

Upton is also a cosponsor of the bipartisan Realize America's Maritime Promise (RAMP) Act (H.R. 104) to ensure that all funding collected through the federal Harbor Maintenance Trust Fund is fully used for the intended purpose of harbor maintenance.
