Help Identify Solutions to Reduce Flooding in the Ecorse Creek Watershed
Friends of the Detroit River is encouraging residents to attend community meetings to help identify solutions to reduce flooding in the Ecorse Creek Watershed. Meetings are held virtually the third Thursday of every month at 3:30pm EST. Visit www.detroitriver.org/ecorse-creek for more information.
Ecorse Creek is a highly urbanized watershed that has experienced significant flooding for decades. Communities in the watershed include Allen Park, Dearborn Heights, Ecorse, Inkster, Lincoln Park, Melvindale, Romulus, Southgate, Taylor, Westland, and Wyandotte. Gathering community feedback is a critical step to gauging the interest and potential for projects to reduce flooding and restore ecosystem function.
