Murphysboro Leaves County Soil and Water District

Murphysboro City Council voted to withdraw from the Jackson County Soil and Water Conservation District, aligning with Carbondale's move amid an EPA plan for a mandatory erosion control program. Mayor Bowers said the step is temporary while duplication issues are resolved, as the city approves South Third Street improvements using about 150000 of the 1.5 million CDGB grant. The council also seeks census publicity and appoints a diverse 12-member public relations committee including NAACP, business and professional groups.
