About $100 million in federal money for the $34 billion Coastal Texas Project, which the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers expected this spring, might not arrive this year because the House Appropriations Committee didn’t allocate it, touting the decision as part of cuts to wasteful spending.

The multi-billion dollar undertaking actually is a series of projects including construction of locks and gates that will help prevent storm-driven flooding for millions of people who live on Galveston Island and along the Houston Ship Channel.
