After the tropical storm Elsa came to an end in Fall River, the ongoing problem of flooding at Stafford Square continues.

The impacts of flooding in the area have been considered a constant hazard for decades and plans to improve the area are in the works but not at a forgiving price.

According to the digital edition of the Fall River Herald, Fall River’s Department of Community Utilities Administrator, Paul Ferland, stated that the plans to renovate the issues of drainage at Stafford Square could reach a price tag of up to $42 million according to Providence office of Maine-based engineering consulting firm Wright-Pierce who studied the area last February.
