The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers and its contractors recently completed the first construction contract for the Sabine Pass to Galveston Bay coastal storm risk management program.

Congress approved $4 billion for the S2G program in the Bipartisan Budget Act of 2018, $863 million of which has been designated for the Port Arthur Project. Under the S2G Program, USACE and its non‑federal sponsors are designing and implementing effective and ecologically-sound solutions to reduce the risk of coastal storm surge to communities, businesses and industry in Orange, Jefferson and Brazoria Counties.
