White Rock Lake Dredging

The City held a public meeting on January 28, 2020 and a stakeholder meeting on February 11, 2020 to inform residents/stakeholders about the upcoming feasibility study and to receive community input to be incorporated in the study.

The next public meeting was scheduled for April/May 2020 to present draft results of the feasibility study.  As a result of the current COVID-19 pandemic and the THIRD AMENDED EMERGENCY REGULATIONS issued by the Mayor, the City will not be holding any public meetings at this time.

The second public meeting to provide an update on draft findings of the White Rock Lake Dredging Feasibility Study was held virtually on July 16, 2020. Please note the revised schedule below.
