The TOWN suffered significant infrastructure damage during the September 2013 flood. Since the flood, the TOWN has worked to purchase residential properties in the floodplain and convert them to open space. The TOWN applied for, and received, a HUD Community Development Block Grant – Disaster Recovery (CDBG-DR) to purchase properties that had improvements that were damaged or destroyed during the September 2013 flood and convert them to open space or a compatible use as allowable by HUD. This project includes clearing, application of topsoil, seed, and erosion control mat, and installation of a chain barrier fence and a swing gate.
