Flat Rock approves $1,000 contribution to Mud Creek planning grant for flood mitigation
Summary
Council approved a $1,000 contribution to help meet the local match for a Mud Creek planning grant being pursued by Conserving Carolina and Laurel Park; the funds support initial flood-mitigation planning in and near DuPont Forest.
The Village of Flat Rock on May 14 voted to contribute $1,000 toward a local match for a Mud Creek planning grant intended to support initial flood-mitigation planning beginning in DuPont Forest.
Conserving Carolina is pursuing a planning grant from the North Carolina Land & Water Fund; Mayor O'Cain of Laurel Park was seeking $25,000 in local contributions to meet the match. Mayor Coletta moved that the Village approve a $1,000 contribution; Council Member Jeter seconded the motion and it carried unanimously.
The contribution is described in the minutes as an interlocal philanthropic support for initial design and planning of flood mitigation; the village’s contribution is one of several municipal and individual options the minutes noted were being pursued to meet the grant’s local-match requirement.
Next steps: Conserving Carolina will continue grant application work and local partners will provide matching funds as committed; the minutes do not set a schedule for the release of design work pending grant award and additional commitments.
