Washington, D.C. - Today, U.S. Senator Bob Casey (D-PA) announced $8.35 million in federal funding for the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers for the Indian Rock Dam in York County. The funding comes from the FY23 allocation of the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (IIJA). The funding builds on top of the $1,045,000 the Indian Rock Dam received earlier this year, bringing the project’s total IIJA funding to $9,395,000.
“Indian Rock Dam is critical to preventing the flooding of Codorus Creek in York County and protecting the Chesapeake Bay watershed,” said Senator Casey. “This new funding from the infrastructure law will help to stop flooding before it begins and preserve water quality in York County and across South Central Pennsylvania.”
The funding will be used to replace and repair the Market Street floodwall and levee sections at the Codorus Creek Flood Protection Project. It will also rehabilitate Tyler Run and repave the public road across the dam crest. Indian Rock Dam helps protect habitat and water quality within the Chesapeake Bay watershed.
