Md. officials announce more than $1.5M for flood protection in Dorchester Co.

U.S. Senators Ben Cardin and Chris Van Hollen announced Friday that federal funds will be used to bolster flooding mitigation efforts in Dorchester County’s city of Cambridge in Maryland. This money will support a flood barrier along the Choptank River’s shoreline that will “weaken wave strength, prevent erosion, enhance ecological development, and improve water quality,” according to a news release from Sen. Cardin’s office.
