JAMESTOWN – A local organization that works to battle weed and other aquatic nuisances in Chautauqua Lake has received a major funding boost.
The Johnson Foundation recently made an investment to the Chautauqua Lake Association for $250,000 to be used towards the CLA’s replacement, repair, and reconditioning of equipment.
The gift will fund the CLA’s purchase of a new FX-11 Aquatic Weed Harvester and SL-6036 Shore Conveyor.
The CLA has three crews working eight hours a day, five days a week, to help keep Chautauqua Lake clean.
