City to host flood repair open house

COLUMBIA, SC (WOLO) — The City of Columbia will hold two open houses to answer questions about the City’s flood repair and rebuilding permitting process. On Tuesday, October 13 from 6pm-8pm, the open house will be held at the C.R. Neal Dream Center located at 2430 Atlas Road. On Thursday, October 15, from 6pm-8pm, the open house will be held at Kilbourne Park Baptist Church located at 4205 Kilbourne Road. The Flood Repair Permitting Open Houses are designed to answer homeowner and contractor questions about the permitting application process in a one-on-one setting. Spanish interpreters will be available at both open houses. Those in attendance can learn whether their property is in a floodplain, pick up the permit application packet, determine their property value, and have any questions regarding the application process answered, officials say. No permits will be issued at these meetings. Permits can only be issued from the City at Washington Square (1136 Washington Street).
