Flood Mitigation Master Plan Virtual Public Meeting Is September 7

Published on September 01, 2021

Lincoln Transportation and Utilities (LTU) invites the public to a virtual public meeting for the Flood Mitigation Master Plan, 6 to 7 p.m. Tuesday, September 7. An online presentation about the plan will begin at 6 p.m. The public is invited to provide comments at the meeting and complete a survey. Visit lincoln.ne.gov/FloodMitigation for the meeting link, survey and more information.

The LTU Watershed Management division and Lower Platte South Natural Resources District are developing the plan to reduce flood risk for human life, local properties, businesses, and the environment. The plan must also meet federal requirements that will help reduce federal flood insurance rates by 25% for those who own property in the floodplain. The proposed plan will include input from the community and state and federal agencies.

A Zoom link will be available up to an hour before and during the meeting. If you are unable to attend the meeting, a recording of the presentation will be available on the website Wednesday, September 8.
