Summary
Commissioners appropriated more than $70 million in Community Development Block Grant Disaster Recovery funds for repairs to roads, canals, culverts, pump stations and wastewater lift stations and to support storm‑resilience projects; the funds are part of a larger $709 million federal disaster recovery grant covering the Rebuilding for Tomorrow program.
Hillsborough County commissioners appropriated more than $70 million in Community Development Block Grant Disaster Recovery (CDBG‑DR) funds for projects aimed at repairing storm damage and improving future storm resilience, county communications staff said.
Katie, with Hillsborough County Communications and Digital Media, said the funds will go toward repairing roads, canals, culverts, pump stations, wastewater lift stations and other public systems, and that much of the remaining federal grant money will be used for programs to help homeowners whose houses were damaged by the storms.
The meeting summary identified the Rebuilding for Tomorrow program as covered under Hillsborough County’s $709 million disaster recovery federal grant awarded after storm damage from Hurricanes Helene and Milton and directed readers to hcfl.gov for a list of specific projects funded by the grant.
The county did not provide a line‑by‑line appropriation at the meeting or vote tallies in the summary; officials directed the public to the county website for project details and next steps.
