MUDDY RIVER RESTORATION UPDATE

CRWA is excited to share the news that the US Army Corps of Engineers has posted its solicitation of proposals for the construction of Phase I of the Muddy River Restoration project. Once a contractor is selected, it is expected that construction will begin in late 2012. It has been more than fifteen years since the October 1996 floods that helped to finally focus attention on the need for the Muddy River Project and more than twelve years since the planning and permitting for the Project was begun. The posting of the solicitation is truly a milestone and cause for celebration. For more information about the project, visit the citizens’ oversight committee website.
