PROGRAM SUMMARY
The City of St. Anthony, in collaboration with the Counties of Hennepin and Ramsey, is
applying for $150,000 in Community Rehabilitation Grant funds from the Minnesota Housing
Finance Agency to acquire and clear residential property for the purpose of implementing
systems of flood control, primarily for the benefit of persons residing in adjacent housing.
The City of St. Anthony is looking at acquiring residential properties for flood mitigation
efforts. The properties to be acquired will be demolished and holding or retention ponds will
be developed to prevent persons residing in adjacent housing from future flooding.
The total cost for this flood project is estimated at $870,000.
1. Purchase of properties $610,000
2. Demolish and clearing of homes $ 75,000
3. Develop ponding, landscaping, etc. $125,000
4. Engineering and legal fees 60,000

The City of St. Anthony has hired an engineering firm, WSB & Associates, to analyze the
impact of acquiring the five homes. This study will assist the City to ensure the funds
applied under the program will be effective in flood mitigation and prevention.
The City will have the property owners sign waivers to assure that program benefits are not
duplicated from other funding sources.
