FEMA flood plain dispute reshapes Garden City school site
FEMA maps threaten areas including Pierceville, Garden City buildings, High School, and portions of Holcomb with new flood zones. Local officials argue the maps rely on old Corps data, require costly updates, and may trigger flood insurance rules for property sales. Citizens petitioned, some LO MAs granted, while USD 457 relocates a new high school to higher ground, avoiding flood plain costs and keeping bond plans on track.
