Code Amendment (CA) 24-01: Floodplain Ordinance Amendment – Proposes to amend chapter 74 of the Cumberland County Code to revise existing language and add new language regarding Floodplain Zoning to ensure compliance with the requirements of the Federal Emergency Management Agency’s (FEMA) National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP) regulations.
