With tens of millions of dollars now pouring in, a new statewide program will soon greenlight flood-control projects that would help communities from coastal Virginia to the rural Shenandoah Valley.
Flooding throughout the state, and particularly Hampton Roads, has gotten worse in recent years. Since 1927, the relative sea level has risen by about 1.5 feet at Sewells Point at Naval Station Norfolk. And research shows that sea level rise, driven by climate change, is set to accelerate in the coming decades.
Local leaders have been critical of the state’s previous hands-off approach to funding some of these flood-control and sea level rise projects, especially as Virginia Beach estimates its price tag in the billions. It’s a gap the new Community Flood Preparedness Fund is meant to partially fill.
