$54.3 Million in Forgivable Loans for Water & Sewer Projects
The city secured more than $54 million in forgivable state loans to strengthen and modernize its water and wastewater systems, enhancing resiliency before, during and after major storms. The Florida Department of Environmental Protection tentatively allocated $19.17 million from the Clean Water State Revolving Fund and $35.14 million from the Drinking Water State Revolving Fund, for a combined total of $54.3 million. The funding came through the Supplemental Appropriation for Hurricanes Helene and Milton and Hawai‘i Wildfires, a federal program providing support for communities impacted by recent natural disasters.
City Island Seawall
The city began the first phase of seawall reconstruction around City Island, covering the area from Orange Avenue to Magnolia Avenue. The project is supported by more than $900,000 in grant funding, with design and permitting costs totaling approximately $196,000. Seawall sheet pile installation commenced at the end of the year, with the contractor completing over 100 linear feet of sheet pile in Section A near Jackie Robinson Ballpark. The project will enhance the structural integrity and resiliency of the island’s shoreline for years to come.
