Massive dam project eyed near city limits
The article outlines a 12 million dollar flood control dam on a river south of the city, highlighting support from Western Pennsylvania and Ohio leaders. About one fourth of costs are set aside to begin immediate work, with surveys and boring to start within weeks.
