COLUMBUS, Ind. — A design firm is incorporating several features to prevent flood damage to a planned Riverfront development in downtown Columbus.
Naperville, Illinois-based Hitchcock Design Group is designing the Columbus Riverfront project, an $8.6 million conceptual plan calling for several overlooks of the East Fork White River downtown, connections to the People Trail system and an in-water recreation park.
While it is an area along the river where Columbus residents have been known to wade and fish from a sandbar or the shore, it is also an area that is known to flood during heavy rainfall.
Please read Thursday’s edition of The Republic for more details.
