With billions of economic stimulus dollars on the way to Florida, local government agencies are scrambling to get their requests in on time.

One of those requests may include $25 million for a restroration project at Payne's Prairie Preserve. The project would restore the prairie to it's natural wetlands. Back in the days of cattle ranchers in Gainesville, the water was re-routed via canal to the Alachua Sink.

GRU officials say the project will improve the quality of water draining into the Floridian Aquifer and -- they hope -- make the land more attractive to visitors.
