Utica is now a participating community in the National Flood Insurance Program.

This means those living and working in Utica can purchase federally-underwritten flood insurance.

From the Federal Emergency Management Agency:

Flooding is the most common and costliest nature disaster in the U.S.

From the Clinton Public School District:

This school year, students in the Clinton Public School District could miss fewer days because of snow.

CPSD is implementing delayed start times in an effort to keep from canceling school during snow and icy weather. During the 2010-11 school year, school districts throughout the state lost multiple days due to snow in an unusually active winter weather season.
