Lake Bogina project runs late and over budget
Three years after state funds were approved, the Lake Bogina project in Bourbon County remains unfinished and over budget. Hawley Urkevich engineers seek an extra 256000 to finish the lake, drawing stern questions from SCC Director Tracy Streeter about billings and overruns.
