Metroeast Levee Update
FEMA will no longer disregard levees considered below standard in its process of updating Flood Insurance Rate Maps (FIRMs). In response to requests from more than 27 U.S. Senators and multiple Representatives, FEMA will discontinue its "without levees" practice and will instead begin using methods to more accurately reflect the quality of existing levees in the Metro East and across the country.
This policy reversal is a welcomed change for us and dozens of other levee protected communities across the country that are dealing with the implications of FEMA's remapping process.

Hello and welcome to the best well-kept secret in all of Southern Illinois, my hometown, Granite City.
Truly, my hometown is a hidden treasure chest of potential and opportunities and I encourage you to become a part of the excitement. Whether you seek excellent opportunities for education, recreation, religion, business or culture, we have it all. Also, being located just six miles from St. Louis with easy access to major highways and interstates, we are just a river's width away from all of the professional sports, shopping, recreational and cultural amenities that this great American city has to offer.
In short, if a high quality of life is what you seek, then Granite City is the place for you and your family. But, with as much promise as my hometown has, I cannot guarantee that it will remain a secret for long.
