Updated: The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers announced yesterday (Tuesday) that the Pajaro River Flood Risk Reduction Project and the Santa Cruz Harbor are receiving more than $2.3 million in federal funding. The Pajaro River Project will get $1.8 million and the Santa Cruz Harbor will get $540,000 for dredging.
