Carter Secures $500,000 For Fort Hood Revegetation

05/09/06

Washington, May 9, 2006 -  U.S. Representative John Carter (TX-31), a member of the Appropriations Committee, announced today that the Committee has included his request for $500,000 for Range Revegetation for Ft. Hood in the Fiscal Year 2007 Agriculture Appropriations bill. This is a joint project between the Texas Water Resources Institute and Ft. Hood to revegetate 30,000 acres where heavy artillery traffic has disturbed soils and left the land largely without vegetation. This project also gives Fort Hood the ability to utilize more of its land for training purposes.

“I remain committed to ensuring that our service men and women have the training facilities they need to best prepare them for combat. I applaud the partners in this project and am pleased to have once again secured funding for practices that will improve Fort Hood’s training facilities while being good stewards of the environment,” Congressman Carter said.

The Agriculture Appropriations bill now awaits action by the full House.
