Building Industry Connect: FM Diversion Update & Floodplain Remapping
Join us Nov. 17 to hear from Metro Flood Diversion Authority Director of Engineering, Kris Bakkegard, PE, CFM, one of the key individuals coordinating with FEMA on floodplain remapping. Learn what the remapping process means for future development, building requirements, permitting, flood insurance considerations and land use decisions across the region. This is a great opportunity to better understand potential impacts on current and future projects.
