Congratulations to the Florida Department of Environmental Protection for putting Deepwater Horizon Oil Spill funds to good use for Florida’s environment.
The State of Florida will receive $10 million in the form of land acquisitions and stormwater management projects under a June 18 Consent Decree between MOEX Offshore 2007 LLC and the U.S. Department of Justice.
Governor Scott said, “This $10 million investment is great news for families along the panhandle. These funds will support jobs at Eglin Air Force Base by providing base leaders with more buffer zone land – and millions will go into clean water projects, so Florida continues its progress in protecting and restoring our state’s natural waterbodies.”
