Hillsborough County approves 10 rebuilding projects and proposes $80 million CDBG-DR multifamily housing program
Summary
The board approved 10 infrastructure projects under the Rebuilding for Tomorrow program and approved a proposed CDBG-DR multifamily housing program allocating $80,000,000 for small rehabilitation (5–50 units) and large-scale developments; county officials said future projects will return to the board for consideration.
Hillsborough County commissioners approved 10 additional infrastructure projects under the Rebuilding for Tomorrow program, a county-administered disaster-recovery initiative funded by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD).
Katie, with Hillsborough County Communications and Digital Media, said the projects selected address flooding impacts across the county and include neighborhood drainage improvements, channel restoration, culvert repairs, emergency power outage beacons, pump station resiliency, low-pressure sewer system conversion, and natural lands flood mitigation. The county posted a full list of projects at rebuildingfortomorrow.hcfl.gov.
In a separate but related action, the board approved a proposed Community Development Block Grant Disaster Recovery (CDBG-DR) multifamily housing program that allocates $80,000,000 in grant funding under the county action plan. Katie said the multifamily program is designed to assist small rehabilitation projects of 5 to 50 units and large-scale development for substantial rehabilitation and new construction; she also described a special-population housing track for projects of 50 to 100 units. Katie said all future projects under the program will be brought back to the board for consideration.
