As part of the NC Streamflow Rehabilitation Assistance Program (StRAP), the Town was awarded a grant in the amount of $258,429 which will be used for the project. The Town has identified three streams within Town limits that have significant impairment from vegetative debris and have the potential to cause flood situations in adjacent areas. These sections of stream total approximately 8,657 linear feet and encompass areas of Jackeys Creek, Mill Creek, and Sturgeon Creek. The goal of this project is for vegetative debris to be cleared from the streams, and immediately adjacent areas, to restore the natural flow of water and lessen the risk of flooding.
