EAST PRAIRIE - In the early 1980's, high waters from the Mississippi surged out of the river banks, flooding almost one-third of East Prairie. Businesses closed, farm fields looked like small lakes and sandbags were stacked along Interstate 55. Those days may soon be history with the announcement of the appropriation of federal funds to begin work on a flood control project in Scott and Mississippi counties. During conference work on the flood control bill, according to Sen. Christopher Bond, $100,000 was added to the bill for the St. Johns-New Madrid Floodway project. Jo Ann Emerson announced that the funding bill is expected to be signed this week by President Clinton.
