Flooding in the Big Rapids area did damage to many roads and homes.

-(9&10 NEWS) - Gov. Gretchen Whitmer granted a state of emergency for Mecosta County to help ongoing recovery efforts from the flooding that happened early last month in Big Rapids.

On May 11, a heavy storm moved through Big Rapids leaving more than four inches of rainfall in a span of about two hours. The flooding caused severe damage to local roads in downtown Big Rapids. The local state of emergency that was declared on May 12th started some of the recovery effort but the funds weren’t enough. 

Big Rapids will now be eligible for more help and funding to repair the city.
