Flood Control Project Approved for Federalsburg
Representative T Alan Goldsborough won a long fight to approve a flood control project on Marshy Hope Creek Federalsburg Maryland. The plan, costing about 238000 dollars, was included in last week’s flood control bill after approval by the Board of Engineers for Rivers and Harbors. Senator Radcliffe sponsored the item before the Senate Commerce Committee and Goldsborough said he has discussed it with the House committee chair who assured retention by the conference.
