We’re excited to share an update on the Whitewater Canal State Historic Site Preservation Project!

Yesterday, the Indiana State Budget Committee approved the release of $7.4 million in state-allocated funding. Together with the $7 million matching grant we announced in January, we have now secured $14.4 million to restore and preserve the Duck Creek Aqueduct, Laurel feeder dam and lock 24.

We will continue working through the planning process with our engineers so we can get the work out to bid. Please check back for updates as the project progresses.

We have encouraging news to share! We’ve received a commitment for a $7 million matching grant to support crucial work to restore and preserve the Whitewater Canal State Historic Site.

As a next step, we are required to appear before the Indiana State Budget Committee to request the release of the state-allocated $7 million before ISMHS can move forward with work on the Duck Creek Aqueduct, Laurel Feeder Dam and lock 24. We will share additional updates as this process moves forward.
