Levee gets repair funding
Congresswoman Lois Capps, D-Santa Barbara, announced on April 28 that the Army Corps of Engineers will grant $40.2 million in federal funding to repair the Santa Maria River Levee.
The funding is being made available as part of the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act, which Congress passed earlier this year.
The funds come after years of research and smaller government grants to figure out how best to fix the levee.
