“IT’S GREAT NEWS FOR THE COASTAL BEND THAT OVER
$6 MILLION IN GRANT FUNDING WAS AWARDED TO THE
CORPUS CHRISTI ARMY DEPOT AND NAVAL AIR STATION
CORPUS CHRISTI THROUGH THE DEAAG PROGRAM.
THESE GRANTS ARE CRITICAL FOR OUR MILITARY IN-
STALLATIONS TO ALLOW THEM TO BUILD UP THEIR IN-
FRASTRUCTURE TO INCREASE THE MILITARY VALUE OF
THEIR BASE AND HELP AVOID A POTENTIAL BRAC CLO-
SURE. AS VICE CHAIR OF THE SENATE FINANCE COMMIT-
TEE, I AM HONORED TO HAVE HELPED SECURE $20 MIL-
LION IN STATE FUNDING FOR THE DEAAG PROGRAM THIS
PAST LEGISLATIVE SESSION AND PLEASED THAT THE
CITY OF CORPUS CHRISTI WAS AWARDED TWO GRANTS.”
-Senator Juan "Chuy" Hinojosa
“THESE AWARDS SHOW THE SUPPORT AND COMMIT-
MENT THAT OUR COASTAL BEND AREA HAS FOR OUR
MILITARY AND COMMUNITY. OUR AREA WILL CONTINUE
TO BE A STRONG SUPPORTER . IT’S AN HONOR TO RE-
CEIVE THESE AWARDS.”
-Representative Todd Hunter
