INDIANAPOLIS, Ind. (WANE) The DNR has awarded more than $814,000 in grants to help improve lakes and rivers across the state. Several of those lakes are in Kosciusko County.
It's part of the Lake and River Enhancement program and allows for the completion of projects that would be difficult for local organizations to fund on their own.
