Tuesday night’s council meeting included a presentation showing the history of floods in the area along with past plans. The goal now is to stop the flooding in the neighborhoods and at Wolf Creek.
More sessions on the issue are planned. Those who wish to give feedback on flooding in their neighborhood or in the city can attend a meeting scheduled Tuesday, Feb. 27, at 6:30 p.m. at Brookville High School on Blue Pride Drive. The Montgomery Soil and Water Conservation District will lead the meeting.
