Approximately 100-150 homes flooded during spring <br />flooding in Cass County. This project will propose to demolish a selected number of affected <br />properties with over 50-percent damage or are located in the 100-year floodplain and sustained <br />at least 10-percent damage in at least 3 other floods over the past 30 years. <br />By acquiring the proposed properties, Cass County will remove flood-prone homes from the <br />area, thereby eliminating health and safety risks for property owners and future rescue <br />workers. In addition, the project will eliminate the need to provide emergency rescue services, <br />flood insurance and federal disaster assistance in the future. <br />Lake Agassiz Regional Council will manage the application process on behalf of Cass County. <br />Sincerely, <br />~O~Y V <br />Dave Rogness <br />Public Safety Building, 4630 15th Avenue North, Fargo, ND 58102 <br />Fax: (701) 476-4020 <br />
