Cranberry Township is the latest municipality to join a project aimed at studying solutions to flooding issues in southern Butler County.
Township supervisors confirmed their participation to join the Lower Connoquenessing Watershed-Stormwater Planning Study.
Butler County Chief of Economic Development Mark Gordon says this study has two goals.
“We’ll look at how the communities can adjust release rates to mitigate flooding,” Gordon said. “The second deliverable in each one of these locations would be three projects, that are actually do-able projects, that the consultant would engineer and identify the benefits for.”
The total cost of the study is just over $75,000.
