Commissioner May told the Beaver County Board of Commissioners on Oct. 8 that the Montgomery Lock and Dam project is continuing despite a federal government shutdown because the project received funding allocations in 2024.
May described the undertaking as "over a billion dollar project" and said the 2024 allocation meant current construction activity was not affected by the shutdown. She also said additional funds will be required to complete the overall project.
May noted the county had received many emails about the potential loss of an event called the pit race but reiterated the pit race is a private enterprise and that commissioners had limited authority over private operators.
