Jerusalem Twp. gets grant to assess levee system

        Jerusalem Township, in partnership with the Reno Beach Howard Farms Conservancy District, received an Ohio Lake Erie Commission grant for $83,200 to establish a framework for risk assessment of the comprehensive water control system along Lake Erie.
The goal of the project is to develop a strategic implementation plan for shoreline protection through infrastructure reinforcement and improvements. Ultimately, this project will help build resiliency in the face of potential large-scale flooding and intense storm events related to climate change and rising lake levels in Lake Erie.
“We are grateful for this award so that we can better serve our community,” said Township Trustee Mark Sattler. “This grant affords us the opportunity to assess our levee system and plan for the future with absolutely no cost to township residents.”
