DeSantis Says Everglades Reservoir Project is Five Years Ahead of Schedule

Gov. Ron DeSantis announced all federally funded contracts for the Everglades Agricultural Area (EAA) Reservoir project have been executed five years ahead of schedule while speaking at a press conference joined by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers in South Bay this week.

The completion of the EAA Reservoir is scheduled for 2029.

“What a great day for America’s Everglades, as it has been announced that all the federal money needed to complete their portions of the EAA Reservoir – the ‘Crown Jewel’ of Everglades restoration – has been secured,” Everglades Trust CEO Anna Upton said.
