Trump Administration Kills Elizabeth River Project Grant

"We received an email and it said effective today, this grant is terminated," Elizabeth River Project Executive Director Lacy Shirey told WTKR TV in Norfolk. The communication of the cut in funding arrived in an email on May 5. The grant allowed Portsmouth public school children to get a hands on education on conservation by assisting to improve the area around the river. The Elizabeth River Project has worked to preserve waterways in Portsmouth, Norfolk and Chesapeake for over two decades.
