LOGAN, West Virginia -

A project aimed at reducing flooding is moving forward.

The U.S. Army Corp of Engineers has awarded a $6 million contract for the next phase of the Island Creek Flood Mitigation project.

Heeter Construction of Spencer will widen the creek from the area near where Super 8 used to be to the NAPA store.

The purpose of the project is to reduce flooding in that area which is prone to high water.
