| Devils Lake to Buy Land for Flood Control |
| 4/21/2009 |
| The Devils Lake City Commission has signed a deal to acquire land in Nelson County in the Tolna Coulee area where the flooding lake would flow naturally into the Sheyenne River. The commission voted 5-0 Monday night to spend $1,000 per acre to buy the 193 acres of land. City Commissioner Rick Morse says it`s part of an effort to come up with a long term plan to address flood control - not only for Devils Lake but downstream as well. Morse says city officials don`t expect the state to oppose the city`s efforts to develop a spillway that would control the flow of water out of the lake. |
