The Port of Hueneme will receive $778,000 from the Army Corps of Engineers, the first of the port funds it became eligible to receive
with the passing of the Water Infrastructure Improvement for the Nation Act in December.
The port was previously ineligible to receive money for maintenance from a fund it had paid into, the Harbor Maintenance Tax Fund.
The work plan will enable the port to deepen and maintain the federal channel, said port President and CEO Kristen Decas.
