  "projectDescription": "The Office of the Muskegon County Drain (AKA Water Resources) Commissioner will conduct a feasibility study, and develop construction designs  to reconnect two shallow water lakes (wetlands), locally known as the Mona Lake Celery Flats to Black Creek and subsequently Mona Lake, a drowned river mouth that connects directly to Lake Michigan.  The Mona Lake Watershed is located in the central-western Michigan and has been severely impacted by historic land use practices. The proposed project will increase resiliency of aquatic species, such as the Great Lakes Spotted Muskellunge and other species of concern, that are significant to the Great Lakes ecosystem.  This project also advances the goals of Focus Area 4 of the Great Lakes Restoration Initiative Action Plan III and the Environmental Priorities of the Lake Michigan Committee.",
