Mississippians downstreat of Pearl River vow to fight Corps of Engineers' revised One Lake project.
‘We will be in court’: Monticello pushes back on Corps’ new Jackson proposal by Alex Rozier, Mississippi Today July 12, 2024 MONTICELLO — Even with an adjusted proposal to tackle flood risk in Jackson, U.S. Army Corps of Engineers still faces a steady flow of opposition downstream along the Pearl River. "Let me assure you that Louisiana and Mississippi will sue you," Rep. Becky Currie, R-Brookhaven, told a panel of Corps officials Thursday night.
"You could buy out every home in the flood area, and you wouldn't use half the money that you're going to spend on this," Letchworth said. So far, the federal government has made $221 million available for the flood control project, meaning if Alternative D were selected, the project would still need another $266 million to $434 million in funding.
