Hillsborough County authorizes negotiations for CDBG‑DR recovery implementation after hurricanes
Summary
The Board of County Commissioners selected the top two firms and authorized negotiations to implement the county’s Community Development Block Grant Disaster Recovery program; HUD allocated more than $79 million for long‑term recovery after recent hurricanes, the recap says.
The Board of County Commissioners authorized staff to negotiate with the top two firms the board identified as best qualified to implement Hillsborough County’s Community Development Block Grant Disaster Recovery (CDBG‑DR) program.
Katie, speaking for county communications, said the authorization follows a competitive selection process and is intended to move the county toward implementing federally funded recovery projects. She said HUD allocated more than $79 million in CDBG‑DR funds for recovery after hurricanes Helen and Milton and that the funds are targeted to support low‑ and moderate‑income residents in the most impacted and distressed areas.
The meeting recap did not include firm names, contract values, motion language, or vote tallies; the board’s authorization was reported as approved. Next steps described were negotiating terms with the selected firms and proceeding toward program implementation under federal CDBG‑DR rules.
