State Representative Susan Manchester announced that the State Controlling Board has approved the release of $584,186 for work at Grand Lake St. Marys. The funds will be used to contract with DLZ Ohio for design and construction administration services to:
- Rehabilitate the west dam embankment near Celina
- Provide an engineering assessment of the east dam spillway near St. Marys
Rep. Manchester said: “I appreciate the support of the State Controlling Board for these important projects,” Rep. Manchester said. “Grand Lake St. Marys is a signature of the 84th District and valuable to our local economy. It is imperative that we continue to strive to address the state of the watershed with hope of restoration. Rehabilitation projects, such as the DLZ Ohio contract, support jobs, tourism and recreation.”
