Flood Control Event
Leo spoke about this last Tuesday, and Debra wanted to pass this along to all of the members.
Flood Control: Time for Action
No local topic has been more in the news than our vulnerability to a flood disaster. What devastation would be caused to our community, businesses, and economic development? Proposals come forth every week, but which are likely to happen ... and what more should be done?
