Greensburg proposes flood control project for Northmont neighborhood

Greensburg is proposing a flood control project in the Northmont neighborhood to address long-standing flooding issues. The city is seeking easements on 22 properties for construction along an unnamed stream that runs parallel to Glenview Avenue. The project will involve building concrete culverts and U-channels. It is expected to take up to two years to complete, with funding from a state grant. The city will handle preparation work, including clearing brush. This proposal follows previous discussions dating back to 2014. The current plan will not cost property owners anything, and work cannot begin until all easement agreements are signed. A public meeting will be held to inform residents before the project starts.
