Stormwater Projects
During the Council retreat, flooding was discussed. Several projects were identified such as Arc/Billow Street, lagoons, sea level rise, and the 700 block Palmetto Blvd. The first step in the process is to hire a firm or firms that specialize in flooding and drainage to review and find solutions to these problems.
