Today, alongside the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, I was proud to announce that all federally funded contracts have been executed to expedite completion of the EAA Reservoir by 2029, five years ahead of the original timeline. This milestone brings us a step closer to delivering on our commitment to restore the Everglades.
Since I took office, my administration has secured nearly $8 billion in investments for Everglades restoration and water quality projects. We’ve tripled the water storage capacity in South Florida, opened the C-43 reservoir, and we’re now working on the Blue Shanty Flow Way project—the last major component to “uncork” the Everglades.
The July 2025 agreement between the State of Florida and the federal government has made all this possible by cutting red tape with an all-hands-on-deck approach. We will keep working together to build infrastructure, not paperwork.

Analysis Summary
This is real and well-documented. All the major claims—the 2029 deadline, $8 billion in investment, tripled water storage, and the July 2025 agreement—are confirmed by extensive reporting from state officials and independent news sources. The post focuses on positive infrastructure progress, though it doesn't mention broader challenges in Everglades restoration (competing water needs, climate impacts, ongoing restoration complexity) that context would round out the picture.
