Milton wins two planning grants for stormwater and watershed master plans
Summary
City staff said Milton received two FDEM planning grants worth 'over $300,000' to fund a watershed master plan and stormwater master plan; UWF civil engineering students will partner with the city and selected firms to develop the plans over roughly a year.
City staff told the Community Improvement Board that Milton was awarded two planning grants through FDEM to support stormwater and watershed planning. "We finally were awarded 2 grants, total sum of over $300,000, and, it'll take us about a year to develop this new plan," Steven said, describing a partnership with the University of West Florida (UWF) and a future request-for-proposals for an engineering firm.
Steven said the planning work will focus on Milton and surrounding areas and will support development of a regional stormwater park at the wastewater treatment facility. The board discussed coordination with FDOT projects and how the regional plan could mutually inform DOT bids and reduce overall costs. The plan is intended to unlock grant funding and guide capital improvements over the next year.
