Communities near border crossings would get federal money for local improvements.
This bill would create a new federal program to help communities near land border crossings. State, Tribal, and local governments, plus non-profit utilities, could get grants to fix local infrastructure like roads, water, and utilities. This means better services and less traffic for people living and working near these busy areas.
Today, there is no specific federal program run by the Department of Homeland Security to give grants for local infrastructure projects near land border crossings. If this bill becomes law, the Secretary of Homeland Security would be able to award grants and add funds to help state, Tribal, and local governments and non-profit utilities fix infrastructure problems, with projects generally requiring a 30 percent local contribution.
