Board of Commissioners Meeting · 2026-05-19 · agenda_item

The Board of Commissioners for Taylor County is planning to consider awarding a project to address flooding in the Steinhatchee community. This project, known as the 13th and Central USACE Floodplain Mitigation Project, will use American Rescue Plan Act funding. The project aims to reduce flooding issues within the community. The County Engineer, Kenneth Dudley, has agendaed this item for consideration. This project is in the planning stages and is under review by the Board. Work is expected to involve site preparation, grading, and potentially construction of mitigation features. Further phases could include utility work and final landscaping. Local contractors, trades, suppliers, and service providers should consider reaching out to the county early to understand the project scope and potential opportunities before bids and permits are finalized.
