We received an update on the National Flood Insurance program last week that Congress has unanimously approved a one year extension until September 30,2011. The National Association of Realtors will be working to get the 112th Congress to approve a 5 year extension next year. The bill will now be sent to President Obama for his signature as early as next week.
As some of you know, the educational themed playground "Fun Forest" at Chesapeake City Park was set on fire by arsonists about 6 months ago. After that happened, the playground was entered into the Sears "More Green Across America" campaign. The playground ended up winning the contest and will receive a $30,000 makeover which will be done on Oct. 9th.
The Sears crew, along with help from the city of Chesapeake and volunteers will plant a new plaza entry area, walkway, gateway, signage and butterfly garden.
The project is part of a master plan to replace the burned out section of the park. Financing for the project will come from donations and fundraisers.
