FEMA updates process for Supe Beach Park renovations and cottage repairs

The Northern Marianas Commonwealth Legislature's recent meeting highlighted critical updates regarding ongoing FEMA projects, particularly concerning Supe Beach Park. The discussion revealed that the park is currently the only FEMA project under the custody of local officials, with significant developments in the bidding process for repairs.

During the meeting, officials confirmed that they are moving forward with plans to fix three cottages, a long pavilion, and a stage at Supe Beach Park. Conversations with FEMA's public assistance office indicated that the bidding process is underway, which is essential to ensure that the project remains on track and that the allocated funds are not lost.

Concerns were raised about potential cost increases due to inflation, but officials clarified that the public assistance office has not indicated any changes to the project's budget. They emphasized the importance of adhering to the timeline to avoid jeopardizing the grant funding.

This proactive approach to managing FEMA projects underscores the commitment of local leaders to enhance community facilities while navigating the complexities of federal funding. As the bidding progresses, stakeholders are hopeful that the repairs will soon commence, bringing much-needed improvements to Supe Beach Park and ensuring the community can benefit from these enhancements without losing vital financial support.
