FEMA Revises Floodplain Boundaries in Palatine
Most of the Capri Gardens and Pinehurst neighborhoods are no longer designated as being in a flood hazard area.
Submission by the village of Palatine
Due to a major creek channel improvement project the village completed in 2010, the Federal Emergency Management Agency has revised the floodplain boundaries for the area along Buffalo Creek north of Dundee Road and between Rand Road and Baldwin Road.
As a result, most of the Capri Gardens and Pinehurst neighborhoods are no longer designated as being in a flood hazard area.
