The city of Fayetteville has been awarded $910,000 in funding from the North Carolina Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ) as part of the state’s Flood Resiliency Blueprint program. The funding will help reduce flooding near Eutaw Creek, a stream that flows into Little Cross Creek in the Cape Fear River Basin.
The project will enlarge culverts at McGougan Road and Ivy Road and improve storm drainage pipes at Lyon Road and McKimmon Road. These improvements will help prevent flooding in a nearby neighborhood that has experienced repeated issues during heavy rain.
“We’re thankful for this support from the state,” said Byron Reeves in a press release. “This project is an important step in protecting our community and making Fayetteville more resilient to flooding.”
This funding is part of a larger statewide effort to reduce flood risks in communities across North Carolina. The DEQ Flood Resiliency Blueprint is working with local governments to create long-term solutions that protect people, homes, and public infrastructure from flooding.
