The city will apply for about $430,000 in watershed grant funds and $80,000 from ODNR toward an estimated $1.3 million fix of the long-standing hazardous dam at Crouse Pond, leaving roughly $800,000 for the city. The project now aims to both fix the dam and preserve the water feature residents asked for.
