This grant provided funding to the Town of Edenton to mitigate stormwater flooding due to the limited capacity of downstream culverts that extend under Old Hertford Road. Improving the transport of stormwater runoff from this area allowed the town to focus on upstream improvements previously limited by this downstream bottleneck. Households, businesses and residential care homes for adults with special needs in the immediate project area and upstream benefitted from elimination of the bottleneck. Golden LEAF funds were used to replace an existing pipe under Old Hertford Road with a box culvert design and replace existing piping downstream of Old Hertford Road with two larger lines.
