Possible flood-map changes stir anxiety

Possible flood-map changes stir anxiety [Orlando]

Worried how changes to flood maps could affect them, about 100 Seminole County homeowners gathered Wednesday night to get more information from federal and local officials.

It’s a process that will be repeated around Central Florida as the federal government, using new technology, spends $1 billion to redraw the flood-plain maps throughout the nation. Those maps will take into account topographical changes caused by development.

Another meeting is set for 7 to 9 p.m. today at Lake Mary Elementary School, 132 S. Country Club Road.
