Restoration Plan to be Discussed
The Department of Environmental Protection is holding a meeting Tuesday in Erie so people can hear about, and comment on, a restoration plan for the Great Lakes.
A proposed investment of $475 million for Great Lakes restoration projects is in the 2010 federal budget.
“Lake Erie defines the identity and character of the Erie area, as well as being a major contributor to its economic vitality,” said DEP Chief of the Office of the Great Lakes Lori Boughton. “The financial commitment proposed in the 2010 federal budget will help communities solve the many environmental challenges that exist throughout the Great Lakes.”
The $475 million Great Lakes Restoration Initiative proposed by President Obama puts EPA in charge of leading the effort that will target the most significant environmental problems in the Great Lakes basin.
The meeting will be held from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. on Tuesday, July 28, at the Tom Ridge Environmental Center, Room 112, 301 Peninsula Drive, Erie.
