The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Mobile District (USACE), hosted a public scoping meeting Jan. 24 at the George Country Senior Citizens Building in Lucedale, Miss. to solicit feedback from the public on a proposal to construct two water supply lakes in southeastern Mississippi. The applicants, the George County Board of Supervisors and the Pat Harrison Waterway District, filed a request with the USACE for a Department of the Army permit to construct the lakes back in August 2015.
