大坝安全、防洪和保护援助基金信息发布会定于二月举行
RICHMOND, Va. — Virginia dam owners, engineers and local government officials who are interested in applying for grants from the state Dam Safety, Flood Prevention and Protection Assistance Fund may attend one of six informational sessions in February to learn about the funding process.
The Virginia Department of Conservation and Recreation will host the sessions in different areas of the state.
All sessions are scheduled from 10 a.m. until 3 p.m. The first two hours will cover the grant program; the types of projects that may qualify for funding and how to apply. The final two hours will consist of breakout sessions specific for dam owners or local floodplain managers. Lunch will be provided. Registration is required.
“Our target audience is individual dam owners, homeowners associations, floodplain managers, engineers and emergency management personnel,” said Wendy Howard-Cooper, acting director of DCR’s Dam Safety and Floodplain Management programs. “We look forward to reaching them in a face-to-face format to discuss this grant opportunity.”
The fund provides 50 percent matching grants for a variety of projects related to dam safety and floodplain management. Grants are awarded through a competitive process. This year, up to $1 million is available through the program. Applications are due to DCR by 4 p.m. on March 29.
