Lawrence floodplain upgrades cut insurance costs
Federal officials raised Lawrence’s flood control rating and cut National Flood Insurance Program premiums by about 10 percent, averaging nearly $40 annually for local policyholders after Oct. 1. City officials credit stricter floodplain rules adopted in 2002 for the safety gains and fee reductions, while opponents warn about added certification costs for property owners near the floodplain.
