State lawmakers are working on a bill to allocate $500,000 for a project to dredge and stabilize the Peckman River in New Jersey, which they say is prone to flooding and poses a danger to residents living along its banks. The project is expected to be proposed in December and aims to address the ongoing issues with the river’s water flow and stability.
The Peckman River has been a cause of concern for residents in areas like Little Falls, where homes are located next to the river. Lawmakers are hopeful that the project will help mitigate the risks of flooding and improve the overall safety of the river for local communities.
The proposed funding for the project comes as a response to the urgent need to address the Peckman River’s issues and to protect residents from potential harm. Lawmakers are optimistic that the project will make a positive impact on the surrounding areas and provide much-needed relief for those affected by the river’s instability.
