Mandeville hosting flood elevations meeting tonight

The city of Mandeville tonight is hosting the second of three meetings to explain the city's new flood elevation guidelines to residents. Tonight's meeting is for residents of the city's 1st Council District.


The meeting is from 7 p.m. to 9 p.m. in the gym at Pontchartrain Elementary School, 1500 W. Causeway Approach.

The city's new flood elevations, determined by FEMA, take effect May 16.

During the meeting, residents will meet with representatives of the city and FEMA to learn their specific flood elevation requirement.

Since the new flood elevations are generally lower than those currently in effect, many homeowners will see savings in their insurance costs.

On Feb. 1, the city will host a meeting for residents of the city's 2nd Council District at the David C. Treen Instructional Technology Center, 2024 Livingston St.

While the meetings are generally for specific council districts, they are open to any Mandeville residents with questions.
