Flood Control Stymied By Financing Gap In Ohio
The Ohio Department of Natural Resources has no funds left to loan the Hocking Conservancy District. Resources Director Fred Marr urges Ohio University to provide funds to keep the district active, as the lack delays flood control for the Hocking Valley and Athens. The district, now operating part time due to a $150,500 shortfall, coordinates legal work and local fundraising for levee and reservoir projects. The U.S. Corps proceeds with the $7.2 million Athens protection project, but plans may stall without the conservancy’s funding and local support. The department cites a depleted conservancy fund after $73,000 already loaned.
