DESCRIPTION:The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers will update the community on its flood risk management study of the Tittabawassee River Watershed in Midland County at 5:30 p.m. Wednesday, Sept. 24 in the lecture hall of the Griswold Communications Center at Northwood University. The local partners will follow the presentation with updates about additional flood-related efforts ongoing in the area.

Presentations to start at 5:30 p.m.       The Lecture Hall in the Griswold Communications Center at Northwood University, 4000 Whiting Dr. Midland, Michigan 48640       The City of Midland has experienced significant flooding in 1986, 1996, 2013, 2017, and 2020. The Tittabawassee River in Midland has reached a moderate flood stage of 25-feet or more 10 times and a major flood stage of 28-feet four times since 2010. This flooding causes damage to structures and infrastructure, impacts the local, regional, and national economy, and creates social hardship for Michiganders.       After the May 2020 floods, the Midland Business Alliance worked with congressional representatives to authorize the study under the WRDA 2022 legislation. In 2024, USACE received an initial $500,000 to begin the study. More:  https://www.lrd.usace.army.mil/midlandfloodstudy/
