Lake Junaluska shoreline to become more stable

A $3,360 grant from The Fund for Haywood County will allow Haywood Waterways Association to do some work on the greenway at Lake Junaluska. 

The funds will go toward stabilizing the shoreline and maintaining the lake for recreational purposes. 

“The Lake Junaluska shoreline stabilization project is helping protect water quality,” said Haywood Waterways director Eric Romaniszyn. “Before, there was an eroding shoreline causing excess dirt to wash into Lake Junaluska. Now, thanks, in part, to The Fund for Haywood County, there is less sediment and better water quality.”

The Fund for Haywood County, an affiliate of The Community Foundation of Western North Carolina, is a permanently endowed fund to meet local needs. www.fundforhaywoodcounty.org
