The RESTORE Act Direct Component Construction and Real Property Acquisition Activities program provides funding for Gulf Coast communities to invest in infrastructure and public land improvements. This includes building or repairing stormwater systems, parks, and conservation areas, as well as acquiring properties for environmental restoration or flood mitigation. The program is designed to strengthen local resilience, create jobs, and support long-term sustainability. While rooted in the Gulf Coast’s restoration, it serves as a model for disaster recovery linked to ecosystem health.
