Description:

The City of Whiteville experiences frequent flooding during heavy rainfall events not affiliated with tropical systems in the area surrounding Mollie’s Branch. The neighborhood also suffered catastrophic flood events during Hurricanes Matthew and Florence. Golden LEAF flood mitigation grant funds will be used for surveying, design/engineering, environmental review, and permitting required to advance from a schematic plan to a complete set of permit-level drawings for the Mollie’s Branch restoration and infrastructure improvement project. Households in the area will benefit from this project. The City of Whiteville applied for a FEMA BRIC grant in January 2023 for construction of the project. The application received the highest priority ranking from the NCEM State-Level Prioritization Panel in November.
