Virginia announces $99 million in Community Flood Preparedness Fund awards
RICHMOND, Va. — The Virginia Department of Conservation and Recreation today announced $99 million in awards from the Virginia Community Flood Preparedness Fund (CFPF), providing critical funding to help Virginia communities better prepare for, respond to and reduce the impacts of flooding.
The CFPF supports localities and regional partners as they assess flood risks, plan for resilient growth and implement projects that protect lives, property and critical infrastructure. It also supports the implementation of the Commonwealth Resilience Planning Principles detailed in Virginia’s Coastal Resilience Master Planning Framework.
The sixth round of the CFPF was announced in October offering grants and loans to support regions and localities to reduce the impacts of flooding in their communities.
DCR received 78 applications with grant requests totaling nearly $129 million.
有关该基金的信息、资格规则、申请程序和说明，请参阅该基金的拨款手册，该手册发布在www.dcr.virginia.gov/cfpf上。
CFPF 继续优先考虑符合地方、州和联邦洪泛区管理标准、地方恢复力计划和弗吉尼亚海岸恢复力总体规划的项目。
Since 2021, the Community Flood Preparedness Fund has awarded over $315 million to Virginia communities for innovative flood resilience and mitigation projects. Through these investments, communities are better prepared to address the challenges of increasing flood risks.
弗吉尼亚州自然保护和娱乐部与弗吉尼亚州资源管理局合作管理 CFPF 基金和拨款计划。DCR 负责监督该州的洪泛区管理计划。
