The City of Tavares has approved its Final Stormwater Adaptation Plan. This plan follows a vulnerability assessment that looked at flood risks for city infrastructure, roads, utilities, and community buildings. The adaptation plan identifies needs and suggests ways to improve these areas, such as floodproofing or elevating infrastructure. Future projects could involve upgrades to roads, sidewalks, curbing, and lighting. The City is pursuing this to become more competitive for future stormwater grant funding. This early stage presents an opportunity for contractors, suppliers, and service providers to engage with the City as specific projects and funding are identified. Early outreach can help businesses understand potential needs for site clearing, grading, utility work, paving, and construction trades before formal bids are released.
