The King County Flood Control District Board of Supervisors on Monday, Nov. 3, unanimously adopted a 2015 budget that ensures that needed flood control projects will continue even as the district prepares for long-range work that will protect King County residents and businesses.

Funded in the 2015 budget are programs that will help elevate homes and provide farm pads for livestock along the Snoqualmie River corridors.

“I’m happy to see that, in this year’s budget, we will have the funding to continue with our plan of providing home elevations and farm pads for those whose property is in danger of flooding,” said Supervisor Kathy Lambert. “They are critical infrastructure in the Snoqualmie Valley and we will be able to complete more this year than ever before.”

Along with approving the budget, the Board of Supervisors adopted the 2015 work program, six-year capital improvement program, oversight budget, water resource inventory area funding, flood reduction fund grant funding, and sub-regional opportunity fund project list.
