Summary

Dewberry Engineers reported Washington County received two no‑match Resilient Florida planning grants: one to update the county vulnerability assessment to comply with Florida statutes and another to design flood mitigation on Kingcutter Road; the board voted to accept both grants.

Dewberry Engineers' lead for Florida projects, Hannah Hart, told commissioners Washington County was awarded two Resilient Florida planning grants that require no local match. "I am happy to report that the county did receive 2 grants from the Resilient Florida program, this year," Hart said. One grant is to update the county's vulnerability assessment to align with current Florida statute and to begin planning/design work for flood-mitigation projects; the other funds design work on Kingcutter Road to address flooding tied to a problematic culvert.

Hart said staff intends to begin work immediately. The board voted separately to accept each grant during the meeting; commissioners emphasized swift design work on Kingcutter Road to address observed flooding issues and directed staff to begin project planning.
