The floodprint is a local plan that contains flood mitigation and resilience recommendations developed through public input and planning. Funded by the\u00a0N.C. Office of Recovery and Resiliency (NCORR)<\/a>\u00a0using the state\u2019s HUD mitigation grant and led by the\u00a0NC State University Coastal Dynamics Design Lab (CDDL)<\/a>, this is the second of ten CDDL\/NCORR community floodprints to be completed.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n The Goldsboro floodprint\u2019s goal was to strengthen the ongoing efforts of the city and state to address the city\u2019s frequent flooding. Over a 16-month period, planning and design recommendations were developed by the CDDL team and were compiled in a final floodprint report based on flood data, public feedback, and city staff guidance. Reducing flood risk, improving public safety, and \u201cenhancing long-term environmental function within historically flood-prone areas\u201d were focus areas. The report was produced with no direct cost to the City of Goldsboro or its residents.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cCollaborating with NC State’s Coastal Dynamics Design Lab on the Goldsboro Floodprint Project embodies our commitment to innovative solutions for resilient urban landscapes, turning challenges into opportunities for a sustainable future,\u201d said Town of Goldsboro Engineering Services Manager Jonathan Perry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
