Martin Residents Consider Building A Flood Wall
Many Martin residents suffered extended damages from the May flooding, and, now, a relocation plan which started in the city nearly a decade ago is currently underway. Some residents, however, say the plan only protects about one-third of the town. They say it has been nine years and nearly $40 million has been spent on the project, but the plan is failing miserably and will continue to fail.
Some residents think there may be a better solution. One Martin business owner is urging city leaders to set aside the relocation plan and construct a flood wall which would protect the town. He says this would cover the distance of one mile and save millions of taxpayer dollars.
