The grant provided funding to the Town of Benson for stormwater repairs due to flooding from Hurricane Matthew, which had caused significant damage to several areas of stormwater infrastructure. The damaged system had caused sinkholes and other issues throughout the town. Benson worked to repair identified areas where its stormwater system had failed, including conducting a study to determine appropriate corrective actions for the damaged sections. Golden LEAF Disaster Recovery Grant Program funds were used to complete the stormwater repairs in identified troubled areas in the Town.
