Little Blue River Watershed Study Public Engagement — Blue Springs

The public is invited to a meeting with the United States Army Corps of Engineers staff and Little Blue River watershed local government partners. The USACE is assessing watershed-scale alternatives to minimize flood risk and restore habitat along the reach. Tentative findings will be shared in the meeting, followed by a question-and-answer period. 

The Little Blue River Watershed Flood Risk and Ecosystem Restoration Project General Investigation Study is a comprehensive study of the Little Blue River Watershed to address increasing flood risks and reduce risk to communities and the environment. This study will evaluate current conditions and develop potential solutions to reduce flood damage, improve habitat quality, and enhance the overall health of the watershed. Local communities and stakeholders will be involved throughout this process.

Registration is encouraged for planning purposes, but not required. All members of the public are welcome. A similar public meeting is scheduled for Monday, Aug. 25, at the Mid-Continent Public Library - Grandview Branch.
