The Town of Culver has quadrupled its contribution to a levee project near Lake Maxinkuckee. Last week, the town council agreed to chip in $100,000 over the next four years to the Lake Maxinkuckee Environmental Council for its project to upgrade the Kline levee.
Council President Ginny Bess Munroe said the financial arrangements were discussed during a recent budget work session. “We’d already committed to a $25,000 commitment for 2019,” she explained, “but we were considering making that commitment $25,000 per year for four years, to cover $100,000 of that $400,000-plus project.” The three council members in attendance last week agreed to move ahead with that contribution.
Munroe called it a small investment with a huge return and said she’s glad that the environmental council is around to take ownership of those types of projects. She noted that the lake plays a big role in Culver’s economy.
