Summary
Commissioners allocated more than $70 million in Community Development Block Grant Disaster Recovery (CDBG-DR) funds for infrastructure repairs and programs to help storm-damaged homeowners and said the "Rebuilding for Tomorrow" program is covered under a $709 million federal disaster-recovery grant.
Hillsborough County commissioners appropriated more than $70,000,000 from Community Development Block Grant Disaster Recovery (CDBG-DR) funds for projects to repair roads, canals, culverts, pump stations, wastewater lift stations and other public systems, county communications staff reported.
