FINAL PUBLIC NOTICE FOR
POTENTIAL IMPACTS TO FLOODPLAIN
CITY OF PRINCETON
MUNICIPAL COMPLEX –
COMMUNITY CENTER PROJECT
The City of Princeton intends to seek financial assistance from USDA, Rural Housing Service (RHS)-Community Facilities Program (CF) for the Princeton Municipal Complex-Community Center. The proposed project consists of approximately 41,150 sf and will likely be phased. The initial phase will include about 33,030 sf of space and will include areas for the main entry lobby, concessions area with commercial kitchen, offices/conference areas/community room and public restrooms and the main gyms/court play area. All spaces will include new finishes, HVAC systems, LED lighting, fire alarm and sprinkler systems. All proposed work will also take place within previously disturbed areas. The majority of the construction for this project will take place on previously disturbed land and within Department of Highways (DOH) permits. This project is located in Mercer County, West Virginia. RHS has assessed the environmental impacts of this proposal and determined that the location of the Princeton Municipal Complex-Community Center Project will convert or affect a floodplain or critical action floodplain. In accordance with Executive Order 11988, Floodplain Management, the Agency is notifying the interested public of this land conversion. It has been determined that there is no practicable alternative to avoiding this conversion or effect and that there is a significant need for the proposal. The basis of this determination is no feasible alternatives for this project exist. One public comment was received and satisfied during the Preliminary Public Notice to Potential Impacts to Floodplains.
