State grants Jamestown $8M for flood mitigation after lost federal funds

Preservation Virginia is set to receive $8 million from the state of Virginia for flood mitigation efforts at Historic Jamestowne after losing a $300,000 federal grant. The state funding, intended to protect the endangered 400-year-old site from climate change-related flooding, will be disbursed through James City County and requires approval from the Board of Supervisors at a June 10 meeting.
