Glen Briggs with Green Hills Regional Planning Commission discussed the Carroll County Damages.
Flood Damage from the April event.
Those damages include over $1 million in damage to roads and bridges. That is already part of a request for a federal disaster declaration that awaits approval by the President to assist with recovery efforts.
