Summit assisted the County in the development of a Disaster Mitigation Recovery Plan. We worked with community <br />stakeholders and the County to identify major obstacles and opportunities and to develop strategies and goals for <br />flood recovery. All work products were considered in relation to the availability of state and federal funds. A recovery <br />program was developed that included flood relief/mitigation, housing, recreation, and conservation. Since 2006, the <br />plan has used both Hazard Mitigation Grant funds and Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funds to <br />assist in the construction of new homes as well as the elevation of over 100 homes out of the floodway. The program <br />also helped to establish a community park as well as to create over 100 acres of dedicated permanent open space in <br />some of the most environmentally sensitive areas of the County. The applications submitted under the various grants <br />resulted in over $750,000 in CDBG Urgent Needs funds and over $13.7 million in HMGP Mitigation funds. Summit <br />was the grant manager for this grant and not the project engineer. There were no change order/contract changes to our <br />grant management fees. The individual homes had changes orders but all grants were complete on time and budget. <br />William Lindsey, Director of Purchasing, County of Gloucester <br />(804) 693-4042 <br />Gloucester County, VA <br />DocuSign Envelope ID: D86A66E7-4DE7-4FD0-946D-FE5F106A04AA
