The Town of Leland has been awarded funding through the North Carolina Emergency Management Transportation Infrastructure Resiliency Fund (TIRF) from the N.C. Department of Public Safety. The money will fund the Leland Resilient Routes Project to identify critical routes within and surrounding Town limits. The routes will be analyzed to determine their resiliency to coastal hazards such as flooding and storm surge. For routes that prove vulnerable to coastal hazards, potential solutions will be identified.

Project Updates
Design is currently underway on the top five identified critical routes and project locations. The Engineer Teams will be modeling and developing a conceptual design plans for future resiliency projects.
A virtual Stakeholder meeting for the Leland Resilient Routes project was held on Friday, December 1, 2023 to review the critical routes analysis and identification of potential project locations. Over the next several months, the Engineer will be modeling, and providing conceptual design plans of the top 5 critical route project locations.
2D Modeling and identification of potential 22 project locations has been completed. The Engineer will present these finding and gather stakeholder input to narrow the potential project locations down to five.
A kick-off meeting for the Leland Resilient Routes project was held on Tuesday January 17. Over the next month, the engineer will be compiling existing critical assets and infrastructure data to identify critical routes throughout and surrounding Town limits.
Town Council approved the proposal and selection of Moffat & Nichol, Inc. as the designer on the project.
