Resolution Supporting Grant Funding for the Construction of a Drainage Ditch on CTH G in the Town of Spring Green and Village of Spring Green

The Town of Spring Green and Village of Spring Green are pursuing grant funding from Wisconsin Emergency Management for the construction of a drainage ditch located in southern Sauk County that will drain those areas prone to historic flooding east of Pearl Road as seen in the 1993, 2008 and 2018 flooding events.  The project will also address raising the roadway profile of CTH G to avoid roadway overtopping as seen in the 2008 flooding events and draining any stormwater east to connect into the proposed drainage ditch.  The construction of the subject drainage ditch will help aid in providing positive drainage away from these areas historically prone to flooding draining the ditch east to the Wisconsin River drainage basin.  Construction of said ditch will directly improve the quality of lives of those living in the subject area resulting in affordable housing and farmable agricultural land thus supporting a strong local economy.
