Columbiana officials take up resolving flooding problem Tuesday

COLUMBIANA — Officials hope to resolve a storm water problem that begins in the heart of the city.

City Manager Keith Chamberlin said the city has an opportunity to get up to 75 percent of a $10 million grant from the U.S. Department of Agriculture to stop flooding.

To pay for the remaining 25 percent, of $2.5 million, city officials are considering about a $7 monthly fee per home.

Officials are asking for input from the public, including coming to council’s meeting Tuesday.
