This grant provided funding to the Town of Kenansville to map and assess stormwater systems which experienced frequent flooding during heavy rain and tropical events. Emergency services and court proceedings were affected by localized flooding. The entire town benefitted from this project. Golden LEAF funds were used to map existing stormwater systems throughout the town. Engineers performed field surveys to determine the location, elevation and rating of all stormwater pipes and canals. Maps were generated and loaded into the town’s GIS maps. The asset inventory created included a current-condition assessment identifying priority areas and allowing the town to be proactive in stormwater management and budgeting each fiscal year.
