CANNELTON – Officials in Cannelton conducted a public hearing on a planned floodwall certification last week, moving the city a step closer to compliance with a federal mandate, but the mayor warned that the process could lead to a “seven-figure fix; it could be $1 million or more.”
Mayor Smokey Graves’ point was that certification will come through inspection, which could turn up problems, but he has expressed in the past confidence that the city’s floodwall and levee are sound.
