The governor’s office says funds will support wastewater pipe replacement at NAS Corpus Christi and water generation units at Corpus Christi Army Depot.<\/p>\n

CORPUS CHRISTI, Texas \u2014 The City of Corpus Christi is receiving more than $3 million in new state funding aimed at strengthening military infrastructure and water systems at two key defense facilities.<\/p>\n

The funding comes through Governor Greg Abbott\u2019s <\/a>announcement of more than $26 million in grants distributed to Texas military communities under the Texas Military Preparedness Commission\u2019s Defense Economic Adjustment Assistance Grant program.<\/p>\n

For Corpus Christi, two major projects are included.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The first, at Naval Air Station Corpus Christi, for $2.074 million, will go toward replacing aging domestic wastewater collection pipes.\u00a0<\/p>\n

For the second, the funds will go to Corpus Christi Army Depot. $990,000 will fund the installation of four atmospheric water generation units to support high-demand production areas.<\/p>\n

State officials say the investments are intended to improve water reliability, modernize infrastructure, and support long-term mission readiness across Texas military installations.<\/p>\n

Governor Abbott said the funding helps ensure military facilities remain up to date and resilient, particularly in areas tied to water access and operational needs.<\/p>\n

The grants are part of a broader statewide effort supporting multiple installations, including Fort Bliss, Fort Hood, and Joint Base San Antonio, as Texas continues to invest in defense-related infrastructure and jobs.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The governor’s office says funds will support wastewater pipe replacement at NAS Corpus Christi and water generation units…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":200654,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[14],"tags":[155,157,156],"class_list":["post-222943","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-corpus-christi","tag-corpus-christi","tag-corpus-christi-headlines","tag-corpus-christi-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/222943","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=222943"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/222943\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/200654"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=222943"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=222943"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=222943"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
