Carver Levee Certification Project Overview<\/span><\/h2>\n
\n

For over 50 years, the Carver Levee has protected the community and Historic Downtown from major flooding events. However, it\u2019s time for significant improvements to be made, so that it may continue protecting Carver for years to come.<\/p>\n

Due to the current state of disrepair, the levee is no longer certified by the United States Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) or Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA). This means that the levee is not guaranteed to protect Carver from flooding by the standards set by these two agencies.<\/p>\n

Design work is currently underway, but the path to rebuild and reinstate the levee\u2019s certification will require approximately $12 million. The City of Carver cannot fund this alone and is working with elected state and federal leaders to secure funding for the project.<\/p>\n
