Snohomish County offering grants to develop flood risk reduction projects FOX13
. Snohomish County is looking for developers to take on flood risk reduction projects, all funded through federal dollars, to help protect impacted neighborhoods.and businesses. Aging infrastructure means that many communities are one storm away from losing everything in a flood. That’s why we’re using some of our federal recovery dollars to make smart investments in flood risk reduction infrastructure.
Gagnon bought the place six years ago. He said the year prior to his purchase, four feet of water spilled inside from the flooded river. As weather events continue growing in intensity, Gagnon said he always checks the river levels, worried the next storm could have his shop underwater. There are similar concerns for people who live near water in Snohomish County, and local leaders hope to fix that. There is grant money available through the County’s Federal American Rescue Plan Act allocation to fund. It’s a step to help protect housing and small businesses like Gagnon’s from getting washed away.
It’s also a lot of history that could be affected by flooding. Gagnon’s shop has been standing since 1898 and some of the machines were installed almost 100 years ago. He said the building has flood insurance, but almost everything inside isn’t covered because it’s too expensive.
