From the meeting
The September 30, 2026 update says FEMA's Rapidan Dam public assistance (PA) grant portal will be updated to $28 million and that public comments on the draft supplemental environmental assessment run through October 8, 2026. Barr Engineering was developing a 60% cost estimate, and staff said bids could be advertised in spring 2027 if funding and scope stay on track. This is a major grant-driven capital project with a future procurement window.
