The conversation highlighted concerns over homes deemed unsafe due to water-related issues, with a focus on preserving historic buildings that have suffered damage.

Officials acknowledged the displacement of businesses and emphasized the need to explore resources available for property owners and businesses affected by the damage. They expressed a commitment to working collaboratively with stakeholders to ensure the preservation of Broadlevel's unique character.

Additionally, the meeting touched on flood elevation standards, with officials noting that while some areas, like the Greenway, experienced damage, certain structures were spared due to prior elevation measures.
