North Miami council accepts FDEP grants for shoreline master plan and drainage improvements
Summary
Council authorized two Florida Department of Environmental Protection grant agreements: $25,000 for a shoreline master plan update and $150,000 for Northeast 120 First Street drainage improvements.
The North Miami City Council on June 24 authorized two grant agreements with the Florida Department of Environmental Protection (FDEP): a $25,000 Resilient Florida grant to support an update of the city’s shoreline master plan and a $150,000 grant for drainage improvements along Northeast 120 First Street.
City Clerk Vanessa Joseph said the $25,000 grant will support the shoreline master plan update, which the clerk described as focusing on strengthening coastal resilience and planning for sea‑level rise, erosion and storm impacts. The $150,000 grant is intended to fund the Northeast 120 First Street drainage improvements project, aimed at improving drainage infrastructure to address flooding and enhance stormwater management for the surrounding community.
The clerk’s summary did not detail project timelines, match requirements, budget breakdowns, or whether additional federal, state, or local funds will supplement the grants. The summary also did not report the council’s vote tally or any contingency conditions attached to the grants.
