Charleston's Battery Extension: $4M Boost for Flood Defenses

Charlestons Battery Extension Project receives $4 million boost for flood defense upgrades. The city council will consider the request soon. The funds will support the Army Corps of Engineers and Black & Veatch for design work and project management. The project aims to extend flood protection, create elevated barriers with public spaces, and improve interior hydrology for effective stormwater drainage. The initiative is a federal-city partnership, with the city contributing a portion and the federal government covering the majority of costs. The goal is to prepare the project for construction in the next few years. Support the show:Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
