After months of waiting to get financial help in repairing a scenic road in southern Door County, the Town of Clay Banks received good news on the Wisconsin Disaster Fund they applied for earlier this year. Record high water levels caused severe erosion this spring that under washed and damaged South Lake Michigan Drive. Town Chair Mike Johnson says he signed and mailed-in the paperwork earlier this week and expects to receive the reimbursement of state funds soon. The total cost of road repairs completed was over $33,000 with the state covering 70 percent or approximately $23,000. Johnson adds that the township worked closely with Door County Emergency Management to recoup some of the costs of roadwork from the Wisconsin Disaster Fund.
