Stormwater Drainage Project Noted by Sedalia

The City of Sedalia developed a Stormwater Master Plan, which outlined and prioritized stormwater drainage improvement projects based on key criteria, that included but was not limited to home and street flooding.

Since the completion of the Master Plan in 2013, the City has completed several drainage improvement projects throughout the City. In June of 2022, the City applied for grant funding through the American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) to help further fund more of these improvement projects.

The City was fortunate to receive funding which will allow for the completion of eight more of the areas identified in the Master Plan as needing improvements.

Beginning on Mon., July 22, the contractor Genesis Environmental Solutions, Inc. will begin the fourth of these eight projects in the area of South Hancock Avenue to South Brown Avenue from East 9th Street to East 12th Street.

The project is expected to be completed in 75 days. Heavy equipment and workers will be present in the roadway during this period. Inclement weather or equipment breakdowns could delay completion.

The City apologized for any inconvenience this may cause as the Sedalia continues to make improvements to the stormwater drainage infrastructure.
