Guttenberg Receives Grant Funding For Horseshoe Pond

The City of Guttenberg is getting $75,000 in funding to restore the habitat of a local pond. The City is receiving a Resource Enhancement and Protection grant. The state program invests in efforts to enhance and protect natural and cultural resources. The funds will be used to remove sediment and biomass from the bottom of Horseshoe Pond. Officials also will install a sediment trap on the U.S. 52 inlet to prevent future sedimentation of the pond and ensure the ongoing health of the facility.
