Louisville District of the Army Corps of Engineers Meet with Local Representatives Concerning Flood Risk Management

     Representatives from the Beattyville and Lee County joined the Louisville District of the Army Corps of Engineers via TEAMS as they gave a presentation seeking approval from their Headquarters to continue the flood risk management study for downtown Beattyville.    

     The study, which includes potentially flood-proofing 40 structures in the downtown area, focuses on businesses that supply essential goods and services and buildings that are on the historic register. 

     After completion, the presentation and study was approved to move on to the next phase. 

     Those attending locally were left to right: Emergency Management Director Blake Slone, Beattyville Mayor Scott Jackson Lee County Judge-Executive Steve Mays, Lee County Superintendent Ray Shuler, and Lee County Tourism Director Dedra Brandenburg.
