Congress OKs Funds for Flood-Control Project
From Times Staff and Wire Reports
Residents who live along the Petaluma River are glad to see more money from Congress to finish the Petaluma River Flood Control Project.
With the recent appropriation of $7.3 million, the remaining work on the 22-year effort -- removal of two railroad trestles over the river -- is expected to be completed by fall 2005.
The final stage of the work, which began in 1995, will cost approximately $40 million by the time it is finished.
