"restoring the Lakes" from Gladwin County Record

7/30/2021

 
This week, Max McDonald at The Gladwin County Record published an article that shares facts and context around FLTF and its funding efforts. Here are a few excerpts:
​
"When bi-partisan legislation to fund dam safety measures was announced back in May we began to see a glimmer of the 'light at the end of the tunnel.' Cliché? Yes, but also substantive relief for those who have lived through the nightmare that was 2020. Lawmakers proposed spending $500 million to repair and replace the dams along the Tittabawassee River system in Gladwin and Midland counties along with putting measures in place to ensure dam safety statewide....
​"The collection of talent/expertise found within the group [Four Lakes Task Force] has moved the restoration process forward at a remarkable rate. In a little over a year since the dam failures (Edenville and Sanford) and the forced drawdowns (Secord and Smallwood), the Task Force has developed a 108-page plan for the renovation and reconstruction of the dams."

This is an informative overview of the restoration project and worth a read.
