Bay Dredging May Start in November
The city is inching closer to having all the money it needs to dredge Upper Newport Bay.
The U.S. House of Representatives recently voted to allocate $1 million for the project and the money is expected to be approved soon by the Senate.
The state has already devoted $2 million to the cause and the city has asked for an additional $2.4 million from a state wetlands restoration fund.
City officials said they expect the dredging to begin in early November.
