Exciting news! 💸 Today, the Florida Department of Environmental Protection released its Resilient Florida Grant Award recommendations. The Village is being awarded $3 million for our Coastal Resiliency Project (Seawall) thanks to efforts made by our Village Commission, staff, and state representatives.
Funding will be used to raise flood control measures by elevating 4,000 linear feet of seawall where the Village has a public easement. The Village recently modified its building code requiring all seawalls to be installed at the height of 5.94’ NAVD. The proposed project reduces flooding along the NE 79th Street/Kennedy Causeway evacuation route and protects an estimated $2.7 million in annual tax revenue.
