Title

Resolution to Amend the Fiscal Year 2025 Council Approved Budget and Accept and Appropriate to the Grants Fund, the Fox Hill, Grandview, and Harris Creek Water Plan; ADAPT Long Creek Blueway Project; and Citywide Stormwater Model: Phase I Virginia Community Flood Preparedness Fund Grants Awarded by the Virginia Department of Conservation and Recreation

Purpose

PURPOSE/BACKGROUND:

Discussion:

The Community Flood Preparedness Fund (CFPF) is a funding source established by the Commonwealth of Virginia to provide support for regions and localities across Virginia to reduce the impacts of flooding, including flooding driven by climate change. The City of Hampton has been awarded grants for three projects in areas at risk of flooding impacts from a variety of sources, including storm surge, precipitation-driven flooding, tidal nuisance flooding, and longer-term impacts of sea level rise.

The three projects include:

(1) The Fox Hill, Grandview, and Harris Creek Water Plan, which will be Hampton’s third watershed-level resilience plan and will identify assets and challenges, and strategies and projects to improve resilience in these areas.

(2) The ADAPT Long Creek Blueway project will explore the elevation of First Street between Blue Marlin Way and Pilot Avenue, the elevation of First Street between Tappan Avenue and Benthall Road, and the creation of a surge barrier between Benthall Road and First Street. The project will explore the creation of street elevations and a surge barrier to ensure access to Buckroe neighborhoods during storm events, provide flood protection to homes, and enhance recreational opportunities along Long Creek.

(3) The Citywide Stormwater Model: Phase I will analyze the existing GIS system, utilize existing stormwater infrastructure data, correct topology issues, and preform a GAP analysis. This study will provide information needed to update existing hydraulic and hydrologic studies to incorporate sea level rise and in...
