Lake Delton Receiving More Than $300,000 to Rebuild Dam, Protect Against Future Floods
June 09, 2009 -- LAKE DELTON – Wisconsin Governor Jim Doyle today announced that 34 communities would share $39,220,410 in federal supplemental funds under the Community Development Block Grant Program. These funds will help the communities recover from damage sustained during the 2008 floods.
“Wisconsin’s people, communities, and businesses reacted to the natural disasters last summer with spirit, hard work, and generosity,” Governor Doyle said. “Securing this additional federal funding will help families and businesses continue to recover from the worst flooding in our state’s history.”
The Governor announced the funding today at a program celebrating the re-opening of Lake Delton, exactly one year after heavy rains forced the lake to empty into the Wisconsin River. The village of Lake Delton is receiving $302,260 to help reimburse for the work it has done on the Lake Delton dam to increase capacity and provide improved protection against future flood events.
