Export set to pay off flood-control project that helped dry out the borough

Work takes place on the Export long-term flood-control project in early 2011. The project put a stop to more than a half-dozen damaging floods the borough was hit with between 1912 and 2009.

Export Mayor Joe Zaccagnini can remember watching his father’s 1957 Ford station wagon being picked up and carried off by Turtle Creek’s floodwaters in the early 1970s.
