Agona Area Drainage Project

Organization:

Town of Manteo

Amount:

$250,000.00

Program Area:

Flood Mitigation and Recovery Program

County of Applicant:

Dare

Year:

2023

Description:

The Town of Manteo identified Simon and Agona Streets as a high-priority area due to frequent flooding during significant rainfalls that submerges roadways and adjacent properties, often for prolonged periods. Golden LEAF flood mitigation grant funds will be used to implement solutions to reduce flow at the connection point for the drainage systems and correct other deficiencies. Piping will be replaced and upsized to correct deficiencies and provide better flow. The changes will significantly reduce the depth and persistence of ponding throughout the Agona and Simon Streets system and improve conditions upstream. Households, businesses, and other public/private entities located in the immediate project area and downstream will benefit from completion of the project. Once completed, the town will continue to be responsible for the maintenance of the upgraded storm water system.
