Extreme weather continues to challenge our environment, and that includes major flooding events. However, the City received major funding to help a project in the middle of one of the hardest hit spots of the 2018 flood. The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) awarded the City of Madison $6 million through the Building Resilient Infrastructure and Communities (BRIC) grant program. The BRIC grant will cover 70-percent of eligible project costs, which are estimated to be $8.6 million. City of Madison Engineering Division Public Information Officer Hannah Mohelnitzky hosts Engineering Division's Principal Engineer Janet Schmidt to talk about the what we've learned since 2018, the funding and the outlook on stormwater design in the City for the future.
