Engineering firms are set to begin work on a levee improvement project in Williamsport, supported by an $8 million federal award and estimated at $10.75 million. This project is essential for flood protection compliance with U.S.

Army Corps of Engineers requirements. The funding, awarded by FEMA in FY 2023, received contract approval from PEMA in November, causing initial delays. The timeline has been extended to April 2028.

Greenman-Pedersen Inc. will oversee electrical upgrades at pump stations, while AECOM will handle design for primary levee projects. AECOM's qualifications include work on post-Hurricane Katrina recovery efforts.
