 Shoreline restoration is becoming a larger issue every year in the lakes area and today the Whitefish Area Property Owners Association listened to projects to help them with their shoreline. Three homeowners in the area brought their concerns to the Whitefest Association in order to try and receive a portion of the $20,000 grant from Crowing County. The association's main concerns are stormwater management along with erosion control and shoreline buffers. The project will be reviewed tonight. In the next few months, we'll be announced tomorrow. This is to look at the stormwater runoff going into the lakes and how we can reduce that and to increase the water quality of the lakes. We're trying to concentrate on the 25 foot buffer area of the shoreline. There may be some extra grant money available and that you can still apply for. We have posted that information along with additional information on our website at lptv.org slash news.
