CHARLESTON (WV News) — Gov. Patrick Morrisey on Tuesday announced two flood mitigation studies aimed at developing long-term strategies to reduce future flood damage in some of the state’s most vulnerable areas.
With both federal and state funds, the announcement represents a $6 million investment across two major watersheds: The Upper Guyandotte River and the Kanawha River Basin.
“We know all too well the dangers that floods pose to West Virginia,” Morrisey said. “These disasters have disrupted lives, damaged infrastructure and devastated entire communities. With these new initiatives, we are investing in data-driven, long-term solutions that will help us better protect our people and prepare our state for challenges ahead.”
