Stormwater management took center stage at the Flagler County Commission Workshop on March 4, 2024, as officials gathered to finalize the county's Stormwater Master Plan. Richard Zion from Flagler County Engineering introduced the session, highlighting the importance of effective stormwater operations and maintenance.

Consultant Mark Eller from Geosyntech presented the final recommendations from the study, emphasizing the need for prioritized capital improvement projects. "Our goals today are to review stormwater operations, discuss funding options, and outline the next steps for implementation," Eller stated, underscoring the comprehensive nature of the plan.

The workshop aimed to address various aspects of stormwater management, including the county's current practices, equipment maintenance, and potential enhancements to development codes. The discussion also focused on the operations and maintenance program that supports the stormwater infrastructure.

As Flagler County prepares to move forward with these recommendations, the emphasis on funding options signals a proactive approach to ensuring sustainable stormwater management in the region. The outcomes of this workshop are expected to shape future policies and investments in the county's infrastructure.
