Summary
Town staff announced a $2 million Florida state grant for septic-to-sewer conversion on Bridal Avenue South to supplement an existing $1.6 million allocation, advancing planned sewer expansion in a targeted area.
Town staff announced that the town was awarded a $2,000,000 grant from a Florida state program (cited in the meeting as FDP) to support septic-to-sewer conversion work on Bridal Avenue South. Staff said the award was a late notice to the town but would significantly increase available funding for the planned conversion area, supplementing an existing $1.6 million allocation the town already had for the project.
Staff explained the funds will help extend sewer infrastructure toward the trail area and that the town will continue project planning and design work for the targeted corridor. No construction schedule was provided in the transcript excerpt; staff said they will continue to coordinate design and outreach as the funding is finalized.
Commissioners expressed appreciation to the staff member who secured the award and indicated this funding will accelerate the town’s septic-to-sewer conversion priorities in the identified area.
