Special Districts and Regional Parks moving forward on Lake Gregory project
Special Districts and Regional Parks are working with the State Department of Dam Safety to move forward on the Lake Gregory Dam project.

The county saved up to $1 million by finding the inlet valve free of debris and muck which means the work can move forward without first having to clear the inlet valve.
