Washington sending more dam money to Vermont

More money from the Economic Stimulus Plan is on its way to Vermont. The state's congressional delegation announced Friday that more than 3 million dollars will be used for work on U.S. Forest Service land, creating or preserving up to 40 jobs. The lion's share of that money will pay for long overdue trail maintenance in the Green Mountain National Forest. Just over a million dollars will fund the repair of dams between Lefferts Pond and the Chittenden Reservoir.
