Millions of dollars in needed flood protection repairs in Hadley remain unfunded. Town officials estimate it will cost two to three million dollars to repair the Connecticut River levee system protecting downtown Hadley and Route 9. State Senator Jo Comerford says a 60-million-dollar state bond authorization remains unappropriated. She’s also pushing for a regional commission to coordinate flood protection efforts along the river. Meanwhile, updated federal flood maps could mean higher insurance costs for property owners.
