Repeated highway #flooding has made it harder for Shiloh families to fully use or enjoy their homes, land, and businesses. Each flood brings damage and lowers property values, which adds up to an unconstitutional #taking.
Black residents say Alabama highway project caused flooding, damaged homes: ‘We need you to fix it’
The federal government closed an investigation and reached an agreement with the state to address the flooding problem that the community has experienced since 2018.
