| BACKGROUND: |
Escambia County has a long history of stormwater drainage problems and frequent flooding in the Pace Boulevard/Herman Street/Fairfield Street/Delano Street areas impacting government buildings, private facilities and roadways. These parcels will be used to expand the adjacent stormwater pond.
Following the April 2014 Flood Event, the Florida Department of Emergency Management (FDEM) approved funding for the design of a project to mitigate flooding in the Delano Street area. The design for the Delano Area Drainage Project has been completed, permitted, and submitted to FDEM for approval of grant funding for acquisition and construction.
The closings for all properties within the Delano Area Drainage Project will be scheduled once FDEM has approved acquisition and construction funding. This property owner is aware the closing will be delayed until then to comply with grant reimbursement requirements. |
