City Commission Meetings · 2026-06-23 · agenda_item

The City of Panama City is reviewing new regulations for areas that experience seasonal and periodic flooding. These rules will cover construction standards in flood-prone zones and requirements for designing drainage and stormwater management systems. The plan also includes measures to protect drainageways and the systems that move water. This review is in its early stages, allowing interested parties to provide input. The project will involve site preparation, grading, and the installation of underground utilities and drainage infrastructure. Contractors specializing in site work, concrete, plumbing, and civil engineering could find opportunities as these regulations move forward. Engaging early before final plans are set can provide a competitive advantage.
