About

Initiatives

– Coast Builders Coalition (CBC) supports local, state, federal and private funding opportunities for the Gulf Coast.  We have successfully advocated for key state and federal funding streams for the coast.

–  We are an active industry partner for public and private entities active in projects along the Gulf Coast. CBC seeks ways to partner with other coastal advocates and provide important industry insight on coastal initiatives.

–  Coast Builders Coalition promotes the development of science, technology and workforce initiatives that are the foundation for achieving a sustainable Gulf Coast.  For example, we have partnered with economic development organizations to promote coastal innovation, provided feedback on a number of coastal workforce initiatives and promoted the development of coastal expertise along the Gulf Coast.
