Dredging is watershed district's top priority during upcoming session
Obtaining additional funding for the dredging of Fountain Lake will be the Shell Rock River Watershed District’s top legislative priority for the upcoming session, District Administrator Andy Henschel said during the Board of Managers meeting Tuesday.
Henschel said district staff are looking to travel up to the Legislature to meet one-one-one with legislators and Gov. Tim Walz about the dredging project in the coming weeks, and he hoped some of the board members and Albert Lea City Council members could also attend.
