During the 2010 session, the Legislature approved $30 million for a new Disaster Prevention Smart Planning Local Grant Program.

Grants will be awarded to construction projects that prevent future disasters and use smart planning techniques, such as sustainable designs for low-impact development. This includes replacement or reconstruction of local public buildings to mitigate damages from future flooding and other disasters.
Applications for these grant funds were due August 2 and are currently being reviewed. See all the projects submitted, including those from our area, at www.ijobsiowa.gov/documents/filelibrary/NOI_for_web_8310_E882F0DE25A9A.pdf.

Another state Web site provides updated county by county summaries of state job creation and disaster recovery projects that have already been funded. Visit http://governor.iowa.gov/index.php/static/county_fact_sheets.
