This project will be the first phase of a project that through a combination of capital improvements and voluntary home buyouts will reduce the risk of flooding of thirty-three (33) buildings identified within the FEMA regulated 100-year floodplain and minimize overtopping of Cherry, Prairie, Spruce, Poplar, Water, Woodland, Santa Fe, Park, and Loula Streets. Phase 1 of this project will address street and structure flooding that occurs along Mill Creek north of Santa Fe and south of Mulberry Street and includes replacement of existing culverts with bridges at Chestnut, Spruce, and Poplar Streets, reconstruction of street pavement, channel deepening and widening, retaining walls, and storm sewer improvements.
This phase is the fourteenth (14th) of twenty (20) identified watershed flood control projects located in the FEMA regulated floodplain.
Construction is tentatively scheduled to begin in late May 2021 and be completed by the end of 2022.
