Richland County kicks off a campaign this month with community partners and volunteers to mark storm drains and remind residents that everyone can have a part in protecting our waterways.

The following are highlights from Richland County Government in March.

Richland County is waiving building permit fees and business license fees for individuals and volunteer organizations working to repair structures damaged by the October flood.

The fire station at 1631 Clarkson St. in Hopkins has a new addition to help fire crews protect the community thanks to the gift of a pumper truck from Richland County.

Richland County residents, businesses and other stakeholders have a new resource to contact the County for flood-related issues -- Recovery@rcgov.us.
