Stimulus money for lakes in Missouri
Write or wrong the stimulus package that was passed several months ago by congress has several interesting provisions for lakes in the State of Missouri. Overall there is $200 million that is being pumped into various lakes in Missouri. And of the lakes I bet you cant guess which one is receiving the most money….. drum roll please
Stockton will receive such a large amount of money mostly to fix a broken turbine blade in the dam which has caused the dam to loose $37,000 PER DAY since Febuaray 4th of this year! (wow that is a lot of money) since they cannot generate power.
Other than the money going to Stockton, there is money that will be given to various other lakes, but the main complaint…. the money is taking to long to actually get to the lakes. In most cases the largest sums of money will take a year and a half to two years to actually make its way through the bureaucracy and have in impact. (wow that is a long time)
But once the money does reach these lakes it will be interesting to see what projects and improvements they each undertake.
