Floodplains – what they are, how they help us, what our floodplain ordinances say, Dominion’s requests for variances to allow permanent changes to them by building through them, the role of the Nelson County Board of Zoning Appeals in upholding our ordinances – all this and more on our new Floodplain Ordinance Information page. It is a central place to find all the past and future floodplain news, issues, explanations and links. There’s a link from the sidebar on the right, or you can find a link on the dropdown menu under the Info & Resources tab above.
