FAIRVIEW PARK — Judy Churchin has lived in Fairview Park since 1954, and now she and thousands of other residents in the region are hoping a new initiative will finally solve the chronic flooding that's plagued the city for decades.
Churchin, who has dealt with repeated basement flooding over the past 20 years, is hoping the task force will be able to show some tangible results yet this year. News 5 was on the scene in August 2024 when heavy rain and basement flooding victimized hundreds of homeowners, and we were there when residents shared their frustrations during a community meeting last fall.
“I know how they feel, I grew up in a flooding home and it’s very frustrating," Schneider said."How are we living in our city, are we living with the constant fear of property destroyed, our property values decreased or are we actually going to fix the problem. We need to gain allies in Congress, in the Senate, across the state and throughout the county.”
