State proposes permits to curb flood plain construction
Guillou criticizes flood risks from development and urges state action. A 1960s rule already required subdividers to file flood hazard documents in county records, helping buyers spot flood risks. A new bill, backed by Sen. Graham, would give the Waterways division power to require permits for building on flood plains or water courses, edging into local zoning.
