Flood Plan Favored For Norwalk River
Army engineers recommend a 43 million flood protection project along two miles of the Norwalk river between Wilton and Norwalk. The plan widens channels with dikes and flood walls, with federal funding of 2.7 million and local land and bridges valued at 1.6 million. It would protect 170 acres and avert about 4 million dollars in flood damages, handling floods 30 percent higher than the 1955 levels.
