McMillan Dam Deadline Looms | Lubbock News

from Lubbock Daily News Now | 2 Min News | The Daily News Now!

Lubbock County races against time to finish rehabbing the McMillan Dam by year’s end, or risk losing $7 million in federal ARPA funds. The project—widening the dam, clearing vegetation, and installing a French drain to tackle underground springs—is on track for early November completion, but compliance hurdles with subcontractors threaten federal approval. Officials are scrambling to fix paperwork issues before December 31st to secure the funding and ensure long-term dam safety without any real danger ever having occurred.
