South Williamson Floodwall
KENTUCKY...
A $350,000 grant from the Federal Emergency Management Agency for floodwall certification in South Williamson has been allocated. Pike County Judge-Executive Wayne T. Rutherford and Pike County Office of Energy and Community Development Director Charles Carlton traveled to the Laurel County Emergency Operations Center to receive the money and attend a briefing. “There is good FEMA work and bad FEMA work,” Rutherford said. “We have seen a lot of bad FEMA work in Pike County, but this is good FEMA work.” FEMA had approved a $351,000 sub-grant to re-certify two floodwalls in South Williamson after a federal mandate threatened their certification.
