NEW BILL COULD BRING FEDERAL DOLLARS TO THE SOO LOCKS

This week, the Senate is expected to consider a bill that could bring some
federal dollars to the Soo Locks. The House of Representatives approved
$17-million to go toward building a new lock in Sault Saint Marie. With
the money, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers can begin to build the Coffer
Dams necessary to prevent water flow into the aging Sabin and Davis Locks.
The new lock will replace them.
