The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Mobile District will get nearly $300 million in federal stimulus money, including about $8.3 million for Buford Dam and Lake Lanier, officials announced in April. The money is part of The American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009. Included in the funds is a $3 million study to complete the update of the Corps' water control manual for the ACF basin. The study is to cover "water supply, recreation, hydropower, flood damage reduction, navigation, and fish and wildlife," according to the Corps. See more information on the Corps web site.
