§ 6300 District Funding For Waterways

This law lets a local district give money to the federal, state, county, or city government to help pay for projects that make rivers and streams better for boats and trade.

Key Takeaways

  • •A district can contribute money to higher levels of government.
  • •The money can be used for projects inside or outside the district.
  • •Projects must improve navigation or commerce on navigable waters like rivers and streams.

Example

A small town near a river wants the state to widen the river so bigger boats can carry goods.

The town can give some of its money to the state, and the state can use that money to do the widening work, even if the work happens outside the town’s borders, as long as it helps navigation and commerce.
