Long-disputed flood-diversion project moves forward

The long-running Boxelder Creek stormwater basin project, designed to remove the town of Timnath and other areas east of Interstate 25 from the creek’s 100-year floodplain is moving forward despite lingering legal questions, the Fort Collins Coloradoan reports.
