Board accepts $334,200 DCR grant MOU for community flood preparedness
Summary
Supervisors authorized execution of an MOU with Mount Rogers Planning District Commission to accept $334,200 from the Department of Conservation and Recreation for a community flood-preparedness plan designed to support future grant eligibility and mapping work.
The board approved an MOU with the Mount Rogers Planning District Commission to accept $334,200 from the Virginia Department of Conservation and Recreation (DCR) to develop a community flood-preparedness plan.
Staff member (S4) described the award as post-storm funding to create a flood preparedness plan that would set the county up for future DCR grant eligibility; the Planning District Commission would administer the project because it has capacity and experience running similar plans for regional localities. Supervisor (S2) asked whether proposed actions would be outlined; staff said engineering work, elevation determinations and mapping would be part of the plan and that findings could be incorporated into the county’s comprehensive plan.
The board moved, seconded and unanimously authorized the county administrator (staff) to execute the MOU and accept the grant funds.
