Summary
The Board approved a $95,000,000 appropriation from the Rebuilding for Tomorrow CDBG-DR Project Fund for seven infrastructure projects including drainage, culverts, stormwater pump stations, a low-pressure sewer system, a power outage beacon and environmental land restoration tied to recovery from hurricanes Helene and Milton.
Hillsborough County commissioners approved an appropriation of $95,000,000 from the Rebuilding for Tomorrow Community Development Block Grant — Disaster Recovery (CDBG-DR) Project Fund to support seven infrastructure projects intended to help the county recover from recent storms.
County communications staff said the projects include drainage improvements, ditch and drain restoration, culvert replacements, a power outage emergency beacon, stormwater pump stations, a low-pressure sewer system and flood-mitigation environmental land restoration. Katie, with Hillsborough County Communications and Digital Media, reported that the CDBG-DR funds are administered by the county and funded by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development to assist communities recovering from hurricanes Helene and Milton.
The board's action authorizes county administration of the federal disaster-recovery funds toward the listed infrastructure priorities; the meeting transcript records the appropriation approval but does not include a roll-call vote tally in the public recap.
