City no longer responsible for $12.2 million interest debt

The  Arcadia Lake $12.2 million debt dispute between the City of Edmond and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers has finally been resolved after ten years. The Senate has voted, 79 to 18, to override the President's veto on the Water Resources Development Act (WRDA). This means that the $12.2 million that has been set aside to relieve the debt can now be invested in Edmond's water infrastructure. Courtesy of The Edmond Sun, November 9, 2007.
