Commissioner Blankenship highlighted how the GOMESA funding positively affects the Alabama Gulf Coast’s resiliency and quality of life. He will be diving into the nitty-gritty of the GOMESA funding and how it has a critical impact on Coastal Alabama projects, particularly in the underserved communities. “All of these projects will have a positive impact in coastal Alabama and add to our already wonderful coastal quality of life. “The lack of lease sales will most definitely negatively impact the short-term revenues the State of Alabama will receive through GOMESA revenue sharing. This lack of fiscal resources will impede our ability to fund beneficial long-term projects in coastal Alabama.
