Message regarding HMGP buyout/elevation programs:
(As I blogged earlier, this particular program is not likely to offer EEHD residents much hope for assistance in elevating costs... We will still be keeping our eyes open for CDBG funds soon, but for now, we'll be completing this application **Be sure to note on the paperwork if you are interested in the elevation (not buyout) program** just in case.... I won't be holding my breath though!)
Good Afternoon Property Owners:
I am Sheila Wiora with the City of Galveston and I would like to inform you that we have the application/handbook now posted on our City of Galveston website.

Adrienne: I need direction now...Seems my elevation paperwork was not submitted to the state because I wrote, as instructed by the city, "ELEVATION ONLY"....all over the application. They know I applied prior to the deadline as I was issued a SDE. Now should I have done the Landmark Commission application already? I need to get on top of the subsequent steps toward elevation.
FYI: I have ICC insurance and EEHD designation WEA I on file with the state...all NFIP told me was my request for elevation funds was rejected because I was already in compliance...so their estimated flood height overrides reality....don't ya love it? Thanks, Caryl H.
