Lang's basement was flooded and now officials are requiring her to fill her basement with sand and raise her home six to eight feet, which will cost about $140,000.We discussed tax credits as a potential funding source for restoration and rebuilding - but, is it appropriate to raise a historic building 6 to 8 feet? Such an alteration might not meet the Secretary of the Interior's Standards.
Should we make exceptions to the Standards for rebuilding in flood zones?
