During California’s March 5 primary election, voters in Woodland will decide whether to approve a flood control project. Measure M would allow the City of Woodland to accept at least $300 million in state and federal funding to protect the city against flooding. It would authorize the construction of the Lower Cache Creek Flood Risk Management Project, which would channel floodwaters away from Woodland to a bypass in the east, away from homes and businesses. … While Woodland has never flooded, Woodland mayor Tania Garcia-Cadena said it is important to be prepared.
