January 9, 2026 Press Release WASHINGTON, D.C. — Today, Congressman Andy Harris, M.D. (MD-01) announced $4,785,000 in federal funding for the Slaughter Creek Dredging Project in Slaughter Creek, Maryland, secured through the Energy & Water Development appropriations bill for the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. Slaughter Creek has faced long-standing navigation challenges, with reduced channel depth limiting access for commercial and recreational vessels. This funding allows long-delayed dredging to move forward and improve navigation. Statement from Congressman Harris: “When waterways like Slaughter Creek become difficult to navigate, it directly affects the people and businesses that rely on them. This funding allows long-delayed dredging to move forward and restore reliable access for commercial and recreational vessels.” For media inquiries, please contact Michella Carter at Michella.Carter@mail.house.gov Issues : Environment
