Officials: More funds, study needed for Huntington flooding

Published



A federal investigation will fall short of finding solutions to the worst of Fairfax County’s flooding, and officials say a closer study is needed to ensure the Cameron Run disaster does not repeat itself.

The Army Corps of Engineers plans to mount a $210,000, nine-month study into the recent storms that tore through parts of the county and caused millions in damage to public and private property. Only $25,000 of the investigation goes toward the Huntington area, which was crippled by a wall of water from Cameron Run that swept through the neighborhood in late June.
