The USACE Memphis District awarded a $6 million contract to Vixen, LLC, for completion of the Grand Prairie Pump Station Inlet Channel, marking the final component necessary to fully realize water delivery for the Grand Prairie Project. Completing the inlet channel is essential to the agricultural community in the Grand Prairie region. With approximately 50,000 acres set to receive water in Phase One, the project will help preserve the region’s agricultural productivity while reducing pressure on the declining Alluvial Aquifer. The contract will finalize construction of the inlet channel, which was previously designed with construction plans and specifications completed in 2009.
