Gov. Ron DeSantis signed an agreement on Friday with the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers to speed up Florida Everglades restoration projects, including completion of the Everglades Agricultural Area (EAA) Reservoir.

The long-term goal of the Everglades restoration project is for water flow from Lake Okeechobee to be cleaned going into the Caloosahatchee River, which empties into the Gulf of America, and the Indian River, which empties into the Atlantic.
