Major U of I Flood Recovery Projects Move Forward with Additional Funding
Posted 12 January, 2012
FEMA
has awarded an additional $106.7 million for two major University of
Iowa 2008 flood recovery projects. The total of federal funding that
has been slated to aid in the recovery of University of Iowa facilities
is now nearly $421 million.
The Iowa Homeland Security and
Emergency Management Division (HSEMD) has been working with the
University of Iowa (U of I) to obtain additional federal funding for
the relocation of Hancher/Voxman/Clapp and Art Building East, which
were heavily damaged by flooding in 2008. Hancher/Voxman/Clapp received
an additional $74,218,831, bringing the total obligation of federal
funds for this project to $198,375,334. The Art Building East received
an additional $32,547,414 bringing the total federal obligation for
this project to $68,644,460.
“I’m proud of the work the Iowa
Homeland Security and Emergency Management Division has done with the
University of Iowa to obtain these funds,” said Governor Branstad. “The
relocation of these buildings will benefit not only the University of
Iowa community, but also the state of Iowa.”
HSEMD has worked
closely with the U of I over the past three years to obtain
$420,920,843 in federal funding to aid in the recovery of university
facilities impacted by the 2008 floods. HSEMD administers FEMA disaster
funding and works closely with communities and other public and private
entities during disaster recovery. HSEMD staff is responsible for
administration of these funds from project application to completion,
while also providing technical assistance to applicants to ensure
compliance with applicable laws and regulations.
