Township match and state grant support local stream restorations in West Town

During audience Q&A, speakers reported active stream-restoration work in and near West Town Township. An attendee and Joe Davis referenced a Pleasant Grove restoration project that the township authorized after multi-year planning. Joe noted other restoration efforts, and attendees said some projects had pending state permits.

Mila Carter, identified in the meeting as the township manager, confirmed the township had committed roughly $160,000 as a local match to an approximately $500,000 state grant for one local restoration project. "The match, the township invested now a $160,000 give or take. That would be as a match to a $500,000 grant," she said.
