    Statement from Everglades Foundation CEO Eric Eikenberg Regarding the


    Governors Budget Proposal for Everglades Restoration
    Palmetto Bay, Fla. The Everglades Foundation today released the following statement,
    attributable to CEO Eric Eikenberg, regarding the Governors budget proposal for Everglades
    restoration.
    This is another historic moment in Everglades restoration. Over the last three years, Governor
    Scott has tackled critical Everglades issues. From the $880 million Restoration Strategies plan, to
    the $90 million for the next 2.6 miles of Tamiami Trail to Florida's endorsement of the Central
    Everglades Planning Project (CEPP), Governor Scott has led one of the largest restoration plans
    in the world.
    Now, at the midway point of the 30-year Comprehensive Everglades Restoration Plan (CERP),
    we applaud Governor Scott for his commitment to robust Everglades funding using Amendment
    1 and his acknowledgement for additional water storage as authorized in the Central Everglades
    Restoration Plan. Both of these actions will enable a restored Everglades in our lifetime.
