A new flood wall is completed and hopefully will hold the water back from the Art Park and murals. As of this morning, the Depot is taking on water.
Hopefully, the flood wall will hold with the beautiful mural paintings and Catfish Row Art Park for the kids. It is a possibility that the water could come over the walls.
