FEMA flood maps place most Green Diamond site in floodway
FEMA confirmed the Congaree River site for Green Diamond lies mostly in a floodway with 70 percent of land at risk of fast rising water. Developers Burroughs & Chapin plan a $1 billion city within a city, up to 6,000 homes and 5,000 jobs, while local officials weigh levee upgrades to meet federal standards. Richland County officials show support as FEMA cites technical factors and not politics in the decision.
