Norton got $5.8 million in federal stimulus funds for construction of the Potomac Park levee to relieve businesses and homeowners in Southwest D.C. of flood insurance costs. As chair of the subcommittee with jurisdiction over FEMA, which issued new flood maps nationwide, Norton was able to successfully delay the new D.C. flood maps until she got federal funds to build the levee.
