A growing algae crisis is bringing back bad memories for businesses.
Our crews checked on W.P. Franklin Lock on the Caloosahatchee River in Olga Thursday, where blue-green algae was present and taking over the plant life there.
It was a familiar scene for those who were in the region in 2018, as business owners were forced to fight through a water crisis. It’s a time that is impossible for Sea Tow Captain Tom Carter to forget.
“Was really bad,” Carter said. “I mean, we had the entire canal here. It literally looked like an anti-fatigue mat. It was nasty, blue, green, thick. I mean, thick enough where, at one point, I actually saw a duck walking across it.”

CADIZ The village of Cadiz has been awarded $616,402 in grant funding toward a sidewalk improvement project.
Cadiz Mayor John Migliore said the village secured the funds through the Ohio Department of Transportation’s Transportation Alternatives Program a program that provides funding for infrastructure improvement projects.
“I wanted to share some good news with the community. Last Friday I got word from OMEGA (Ohio Mid-Eastern Governments Association) that the TAP grant that we applied for last year has gone through,” he said during Thursday’s evening council meeting.
The funding will go toward a $733,190 sidewalk improvement project along portions of U.S. 250 and Ohio 9. The $116,730 balance will come from the village’s Tax Increment Financing, he said.
