City To Be First Signer In Request For New Conservancy Sub-District
Middletown will sign a petition to form a new sub-district of the Miami Conservancy District seeking construction of an additional levee along the Great Miami River. The plan would include a 50 percent property-owner signature requirement and be sent to the Conservancy Court for study. Officials cite flood risk to the airport and well fields, with financing via assessments tied to benefits received. The move follows a January flood and includes local industry and landowner participants.
