U.S. Congressman Greg Pence (IN-06) today applauded the House passage of the bipartisan Water Resources Development Act of 2020. Earlier this year, Pence urged the Chairman and Ranking Member of the Subcommittee on Water Resources and Environment to continue the Trump Administration's work to modernize our nation's water infrastructure. The passage of the bipartisan Water Resources Development Act of 2020 is a big win for Hoosiers as it will improve flood control, modernize wastewater systems and build more resilient water infrastructure, said Congressman Pence. Every community and industry can benefit from the reduction of red tape regulations that will expedite infrastructure development. Hoosier businesses, farmers, and local communities can be pleasedwith the bipartisan way in which Congress got this bill passed. WRDA 2020 (S. 1811) is bipartisan, bicameral legislation that includes projects of national, regional, and local significance that help strengthen the Nation's global competitiveness, grow the economy, move goods throughout the country and abroad, protect communities, and create jobs. S. 1811 represents an agreement between House and Senate committees on final WRDA language, based in part on H.R. 7575, which passed the House by voice vote in July 2020. Key reforms included in WRDA 2020 streamline flood risk reduction projects, provide local communities the tools to build their infrastructure back faster and more resilient after disasters, and take care of rural communities by providing additional support and resources in addressing flood risk needs. ### Congressman Greg Pence represents Indiana's 6thDistrict. From Columbus, Indiana, Pence advocates for conservative Hoosier values as a member of the House Transportation and Infrastructure Committee and House Foreign Affairs Committee. | 1 | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z |
