ST. LOUIS – The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, St. Louis District, in coordination with the non-Federal sponsor, the City of Fenton, Missouri is hosting an in-person public meeting on Thursday, October 12, to present general study information, to share the content of the draft feasibility report, and to gather feedback on the Tentatively Selected Plan.
“Homes, businesses, and infrastructure throughout the Meramec Basin watershed have been significantly impacted by flooding in recent years, and communities are eager to find solutions to the flooding problem,” said Matt Jones, Project manager for the Corps of Engineers. “This meeting will enable residents, business owners, and the public to hear from the Corps about the Tentatively Selected Plan and to provide feedback about that plan.”
