Hayworth Wins Funds For Rio Salado

From Hayworth's Office:

At the request of Congressman J.D. Hayworth (R-AZ) the Energy & Water appropriations bill includes $8.4 million for the Rio Salado restoration project along the Salt River. This was one of the few Army Corps of Engineer projects to receive full funding in the bill. The project restores native plant and wildlife communities on some 169 acres of river habitat along the Salt River. The extended irrigation initiatives due to begin final construction in 2007 will make these areas once again attractive to wildlife & nature enthusiasts. The bill now goes to the full House, where a vote is expected next week.
