Updates in flood insurance mapping
ELIZABETHTOWN – The Bladen County Board of Commissioners met last Monday and they received important updates on flood ordinance, as well as changes in flood insurance maps.

It surprises me that I can’t remember what I had for breakfast this morning and yet I can remember events of that day.
