“Utilizing funding to make meaningful impacts on Florida communities is an important step we can take towards mitigating storm damage,”
“The Sarasota community is better protected because of these projects at Bay Park, and I will continue to work with Secretary Eagle to make sure that communities in need are receiving funding and that our state investments make the biggest impact possible.”
The Sarasota will use funds received from the Department of Economic Opportunity to make improvements at Bay Park in the City of Sarasota. Projects funded through this grant include water quality improvements to Hog’s Creek to restore the natural stream, the elevation of Van Wezel Way to protect against flooding, and major shoreline improvements to create a natural shoreline. These projects will enhance the resiliency of the park and surrounding areas against storm damage and mitigate damage that could be caused by a major storm impacting the Sarasota coast.
Gov. Ron DeSantis (R-FL) announces an award of over $10 million in infrastructure funds to Sarasota County.
