COR3 lists 30,776 projects and $24.90 billion in construction costs

The COR3 Road to Reconstruction dashboard records 30,776 projects, $24,903,671,290 in construction project costs, and $260,759,788 in non-construction project costs. The visualization was updated on September 1, 2026, at 7:33:54 p.m. and reflects information as of June 30, 2026. This temporal cutoff is indispensable: the refresh occurred in September, but the progress described ends at the close of June.

The page itself identifies the information shown as the Quarterly Progress Report for the third quarter of 2026, which summarizes progress between April 1 and June 30. COR3 indicates that data for the following quarter, from July 1 to September 30, 2026, will be available in November 2026. Therefore, the figure of 30,776 should not be presented as a count of activity that occurred after June 30.

The portal organizes the universe by execution stages and uses colors to facilitate reading. In planning, there are 6,648 projects with a cost of $3,065,378,399. In design and acquisition process, there are 3,233, with $2,561,039,925. Another 3,671 projects are under design in progress, for $4,754,069,191. In permits, there are 333, with a cost of $139,263,276.

The construction stage has two distinct squares on the board. Construction in progress adds 5,896 projects and $9,668,272,493 in cost. Construction in the acquisition process adds another 4,842 projects and $2,992,189,038. The separation matters for the street: being in acquisition to build is not the same as having crews carrying out work, even though both categories are part of the reconstruction schedule.

The completed line reports 6,127 projects and a cost of $1,723,458,968. The page also shows 26 non-construction projects in progress, with $260,759,788. The eight published counts —planning, two design categories, permits, two construction categories, completed, and non-construction— add up to the 30,776 projects in the header.

The costs of the seven construction categories add up to $24.90 billion as presented by COR3. The largest cost block is construction in progress, with about $9.67 billion. This is followed by design in progress, with $4.75 billion; planning, with $3.07 billion; and construction in acquisition, with $2.99 billion. The dashboard does not convert these cost figures into disbursements. Nor does it state that the cost of a stage is money paid during the quarter.

Road to Reconstruction explains that its interactive tools allow filtering by disaster, location, and type of applicant. The page also offers a view of projects that follow the FEMA Accelerated Award Strategy, known as FAASt. That process is related to projects of the Electric Power Authority, the Aqueduct and Sewer Authority, the Department of Education, and the Public Housing Administration.

COR3 presents the dashboard as a way to understand the pathway of permanent recovery, reconstruction, and resilience works. Its Road to Recovery Project Execution module uses information provided by the recipients in the QPRs of permanent work projects under FEMA's Public Assistance program. It also links separate areas for FAASt execution and for Hazard Mitigation Grant Program resilience projects under Section 404 of the Stafford Act.

Responsible reading requires not combining incompatible units. 30,776 is a project count; $24,903,671,290 is construction cost; 6,127 is the number in the completed category; and $1,723,458,968 is the cost associated with that category. None of these indicators, by themselves, reports how much FEMA required or how much COR3 disbursed in the quarter.

For the Puerto Rican notebook, the most concrete data as of June 30 is a broad and uneven pipeline: 6,648 in planning, 3,233 in design/acquisition, 3,671 in active design, 333 in permits, 5,896 in active construction, 4,842 seeking construction acquisition, 6,127 completed, and 26 non-constructive in execution. The board documents stages and costs, it does not certify quality, delivery date, or final benefit of each project.
