Florida officials have announced $100 million in funding for communities to repair hurricane-damaged wastewater and stormwater systems.

The funding is supporting local governments affected by Hurricane Ian or Hurricane Nicole. The storms had damaged Florida infrastructure in September and November 2022, respectively.

“During our special session in December, we passed, and the Governor signed into law, the Hurricane Stormwater and Wastewater Assistance Grant Program to assist local governments with the repair of hurricane-damaged stormwater or wastewater systems,” said Senate President Kathleen Passidomo. “$100 million in funding was awarded quickly and efficiently and is now on the way to impacted communities.”

The Hurricane Stormwater and Wastewater Assistance Grant Program provides eligible local governments with up to $10 million per project to remediate damage to their stormwater and wastewater systems caused by either of the cyclones.

The full list of funded projects is as follows:
