Lamar County Commissioners were to receive information today about state funding for operation and maintenance of watershed structures in Lamar County at a morning meeting.

According to County Judge Chuck Superville, up to $90,000 has been made available for the operation and maintenance on certain flood control structures in Lamar County.

The funds are subject to a 10 percent match by the county and the watershed district, the City of Deport and the Lamar Soil and Water Conservation District.

That 10 percent match may be made in in-kind contributions.
