The Maricopa County Flood Control District Board of Directors approved three Mesa neighborhood flood control projects. The small drainage projects are a cooperative effort with the Flood Control District (FCD) to help resolve flooding problems. Mesa requested the drainage improvements through the Flood Control District’s Small Project Assistance Program (SPAP).
SPAP is an annual process that enables Maricopa County communities to share the cost of small flood prevention projects with the Flood Control District (FCD). The projects provide protection to residents or properties historically impacted by flood events. In addition to partial funding, communities are responsible for ongoing project maintenance.
“We are pleased to partner with local communities to provide flood protection to residents and businesses,” said District 2 Supervisor Steve Chucri of the Maricopa County Board of Supervisors, which also governs the Flood Control District. “Local cities and towns know their residents’ needs and the Flood Control District can provide expertise and funding.”
The three approved City of Mesa drainage improvement projects are:
•63rd Street and Broadway Road
•Extension Road and 2nd Avenue
•Solomon and Southern Avenue
