Scottsdale flood control plan faces county funding and corps review
City officials expect at least 600000 dollars from the county this year while the corps projects about 37 million dollars for the overall Scottsdale flood program costing around 10 million. The plan adds a green belt wash channel, 3 million in recreation projects along seven miles, and coordination with Tempe Phoenix and Paradise Valley. Col. Lowry pledges aggressive leadership as lawmakers provide matching funds for corps projects, with full protection anticipated in about five years.
