County closes flood buyout program in Douglas County
Douglas County finalizes a buyout plan after the 1993 flood, approaching 75 to 125 affected property owners to demolish structures and shrink future flood pain. Arch Naramore opposed the offer as too little and late, while Paula Phillips credits slow funding but notes four homes were demolished with land retained by owners. FEMA covered 75 percent of the 88 565 project cost through a CDBG grant.
