Tuesday, July 29th, 2025 beginning at 6:00 PM at the Galax City Council Chambers (111 E. Grayson Street)
The project team, consisting of the Mount Rogers Planning District Commission (MRPDC) and Stantec, a consulting engineering firm, will host a public meeting to engage citizens in the flood resilience planning process. This meeting is crucial for providing an overview of the project, presenting draft results of the flood risk assessment, and facilitating public feedback through various engagement activities. The primary objectives of the event are to raise awareness of the flood resilience plan, encourage public participation, and identify areas with known flooding issues. During the event, the project team will present an overview of the project and the preliminary flood risk assessment results. Following this brief presentation, a flood risk mapping exercise will be conducted to identify areas with known flooding issues, discuss flooding concerns, and address barriers to preparation and response for natural hazards. Additionally, physical copies of the public survey, available digitally on this website, will be provided for attendees to fill out.
