US Senator Roger Marshall says his office will continue to look for all available funding for the Coffeyville levee project.

 Marshall met with city and county leaders late last week in Coffeyville to discuss what needs to be done to keep waters from overflowing again.

 Because of two major floods in the last fifteen years, over 850 homes have been torn down in the Coffeyville city limits, prompting officials to not only plan for economic regrowth for its residents, but for current and future businesses as well. The plan calls for an increase in the size of parts of the levee, plus the removal of sediments from the US-169 corridor to allow for better water flow.

 Montgomery County Emergency Management Director Rick Whitson says the plan to address the flooding issue is done, the next step is to secure funding.

 Whitson says leaders have identified the top three items that need to be addressed immediately. He says state and national government organizations are on board to fix the flooding issues as soon as funding can be secured for the project.
