Flooding brings light to the One Lake Project
SUMMARY: An engineer told the Rankin Hinds Levee Board that if the One Lake project had been built prior to historic flooding, the number of homes that flooded would have been significantly reduced. The project, which is a $350 million dollar effort, aims to expand the depth of the Pearl River between Jackson and Flowood. This would lower the river level in northeast Jackson and downtown, significantly reducing the number of flooded homes in those areas. However, there are concerns about how the project would impact other parts of the city. Some flood victims are frustrated with delays in building One Lake, while critics worry about the project's impact on the river's ecosystem and endangered species.
The flooding now bringing to light a project to widen the river.
