The cities of Aberdeen and Hoquiam have teamed up to develop a levee and drainage plan to reduce flooding. A walking tour of Fry Creek is planned where the consultants hired to help develop a master plan will conduct a tour of the Fry Creek area, which is a chronic contributor to localized flooding.
The tour will begin with a presentation about the project goals followed by an hour-long walking tour of the area that will likely be changed in order to improve livability, eliminate nuisance flooding and restore the creek for the future.
All stakeholders welcome.
This is the second tour offered this day to give stakeholders in Aberdeen an opportunity to learn about the flood control levee that Aberdeen and Hoquiam have teamed up to develop.
A tour of Aberdeen’s Fry Creek was scheduled to take place in the morning, with Wilson Creek in the afternoon.
The goal is to eliminate nuisance flooding with a levee and proper drainage and remove properties from the flood plain and thus eliminate the requirement for flood insurance. People could still buy insurance the same way they do earthquake insurance, but thousands of property owners would no longer be required to purchase it.
In answer to some concerns, and according to project engineers, there is no expectation that any nuisance flooding in areas not within the scope of this project will be worsened.
A series of free entrepreneurship workshops kick-off this March throughout Southwestern Washington to bring education to people who are interested in starting their own businesses but may be unaware of the many free resources available to them in their local area.
Your Business – Start Smart is the result of a partnership between the U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA) Seattle District Office and the Timberland Regional Library System (TRL).
The program pulls together resources from the SBA, its resource partners, and TRL to provide a two-hour seminar covering the following five topics:
- Characteristics and motivations of entrepreneurs
- Initial considerations, steps and planning
- Financing options
- Market research tools
- Local resources
In addition to the initial Start Smart class, the program will deliver workshops focused on franchising and online retailing; with plans to add more classes in the future. The classes are free, but registration is required.
