by Alex Brooks
At the Grafton Town Board meeting on Monday, February 13, Town Supervisor Ray Darling said he received an email on February 6 from Linda von der Heide, Rensselaer County’s Principal Planner, about an initiative the County is working on with FEMA. They call it a “Natural Hazard Mitigation Plan.” The idea is to upgrade culverts and bridges so as to be better prepared for the next storm and flooding event. In practice it will mean FEMA will provide money to replace small culverts with bigger ones, or do other construction that would improve drainage and protect roads in a flooding event.
