The Army Corps of Engineers has received $500,000 to study extending a floodwall to Norfolk's Southside, addressing concerns from historically Black neighborhoods regarding flood protection. The funding, secured through a congressional earmark by Rep.

Bobby Scott, aims to reevaluate the project's cost-benefit analysis to include community values. The study is expected to take three years, and if a floodwall is deemed necessary, additional time will be required for design and construction.
