Through the Hazard Mitigation Grant Program (HMGP), FEMA has awarded $5.46 million to the city of Zanesville for road stabilization on Muskingum Avenue. This critical roadway is currently closed to both vehicular and pedestrian traffic due to rockfalls and land slippage, which have caused hazardous conditions. The stabilization and reopening of the road will not only reduce traffic congestion in the area but also decrease response times for first responders.
