Company donates $20K to help clean up Grand Lake

A company has donated $20,000 to help clean up Grand Lake St. Marys.

Investment firm RBC Capital Markets donated $20,000 to the Grand Lake St. Marys Restoration Commission.

The lake is undergoing treatments to get rid of toxic blue-green algae. State officials said a treatment used to kill phosphorus, which the algae feeds on, has been very successful.

For the last two years, warnings have been posted at the lake warning swimmers to stay out of the water.
