Fulton County Commissioner Rick Ranstead.
Fulton County Commissioners released further information in a social media post Friday afternoon:
Fulton County Commisioners, Rochester, Fulton County, in conjunction with Indiana Department of Homeland Security, has applied for Hazard Mitigation Assistance (HMA) funding from the Federal Emergency Management Agency for Fulton County Courthouse Roof. The objective of HMA programs is to fund mitigation measures that reduce the risk of loss of life and property from future hazard events or disasters. The Fulton County Courthouse Roof Project will remove the existing roof coverings and flashing on all roof surfaces of the courthouse. The decking will be evaluated for repairs and then a new roof covering and flashing will be applied to all roof surfaces.
Under the National Environmental Policy Act, EO 11988 and EO 11990, public notice is required of any federal actions that may affect floodplains or wetlands. Under the National Historic Preservation Act, public notice is also required for some projects which have the potential to affect historic properties. All necessary permits and approvals will be obtained prior to construction and completion of the project.
Public participation is encouraged. Those interested are invited to comment within 30 days by e-mail to fema-r5-environmental@fema.dhs.gov or by mail to:
