A

remains
from
a
flood
in
1990
that
same
storm
created
a
lake
outside
the
former
GM
plant
on
stadium
drive.
It
was
one
of
the
many
floods
that
ravaged
the
area
for
decades,
thankfully,
that
the
problem
of
the
past
in
1983
construction
began
on
the
12
mile
long
channel
from
near
the
mouth
of
the
Missouri
River

The

this
300

million
dollar
investment,
the

was
lowered,
six
to

reducing
the
flooding
risk
to
the
68,000
workers
in
the

the
historical
civil

Byrom's
board

preserved

a

was
created
alongside
