Board approves 11 CDBG‑DR flood‑mitigation projects and $138.5 million contract increase for Balm Road Superlift Station
Summary
Commissioners approved 11 Community Development Block Grant Disaster Recovery projects to address flood impacts and accepted a fourth modification to the Garney Companies design‑build agreement that increases the contract by $138,500,000 to build the Balm Road Superlift Station for the 1 Water South wastewater project.
Hillsborough County commissioners on March 4 approved 11 Community Development Block Grant–Disaster Recovery (CDBG‑DR) projects intended to address and mitigate flooding impacts across multiple vulnerable areas of the county.
County communications said the selected projects fall into four categories: neighborhood drainage improvements, ditch restorations, pulver repairs or replacements, and lift-station resilience; they will be geographically dispersed across areas identified as most vulnerable to flooding.
At the same meeting the board approved the fourth modification to the progressive design-build agreement with Garney Companies, Inc. for the 1 Water South wastewater conveyance and treatment project. The modification increases the existing contract amount by $138,500,000 to support construction of the Balm Road Superlift Station.
Katie of Hillsborough County Communications and Digital Media summarized both actions in the meeting recap but did not provide a vote tally, grant award details, project-by-project funding amounts, or a construction schedule in the transcript. Residents and stakeholders seeking granular project lists, funding allocations and timelines were directed to county staff and posted materials for the CDBG‑DR program and the Garney agreement.
