To date, property owners have not been assessed toward recovery and restoration efforts. Thanks to state grants and federal matches and the generosity of many private funders, we had over $40 million by the end of 2020.
This year we are working on establishing the construction costs for the four dams that we will need to finance. We expect new estimates by the May 25th joint county meeting.
Once we understand the total costs, we will pursue other funding sources. It will likely take special state congressional legislation or appropriations to reduce the assessment amount.
We hope you join the Special Assessment District informational session after the first quarterly board meeting Tuesday, March 2 where we will discuss in further detail the Special Assessment District.
