BCC - Regular Board Meeting - 2nd Tuesday · 2026-04-14 · agenda_item

This item concerns a recommendation for approval to authorize the Chairman to sign letters of support. These letters will be sent to the County's federal legislative delegation and FEMA. The purpose of the letters is to advocate for the restoration of funding for the NFIP Community Rating System (CRS) program. This agenda item is currently under review, with a recommendation for approval. While no direct construction is outlined, advocating for this program's funding could lead to future opportunities related to flood mitigation and community resilience projects. Businesses involved in environmental consulting, engineering, and related services may find future opportunities if funding is restored. Early engagement with local government and stakeholders could provide insights into potential future needs.
