Community Section

The Community section collects information about the community that will benefit from the proposed mitigation activity.

Subapplicants should include information defining the project area in the Community Profile field in this section. The project area information will include details such as descriptions of the general population, special populations, significant industries, and businesses.

To search for information about River City, you can complete either the Community Name or County Name field. You don't need to do both.

Today, just type “Rive” into the Community Name text field. Select this link for the full text of the image. Listen to Sally
