City of New Bern issued the following announcement on Dec. 5.
Mayor Jeffrey Odham: “This grant will allow us to focus on long-term planning for the Duffyfield Canal, a drainageway that has been significantly impacted over the years by severe weather, hurricanes, debris and pollution.
By restoring this canal, we can stabilize it, improve its functionality, and create a sustainable watershed for New Bern."
Thanks to NC Department of Justice and Attorney General's Office, New Bern has received a $150,000 Environmental Enhancement Grant (EEG) that will help with restoration efforts for the Duffyfield canal.
