2. Catalyst Development Program (CDP) Guidelines_DRAFT

Economic Development Advisory Board Regular Meeting · 2026-04-14 · agenda_item

The Winter Park Community Redevelopment Agency (CRA) has established a draft Septic-to-Sewer Conversion Grant Program. This program aims to improve water quality by helping property owners replace old septic systems with connections to the city sewer. The grant is intended to cover a large part of the costs for this conversion, especially in areas identified as priorities by the Florida Department of Environmental Protection and the CRA. This program is currently under review as part of the Catalyst Development Program (CDP) Guidelines. Work would involve disconnecting from septic systems and connecting to existing city sewer lines, which could include underground utility work and site restoration. Contractors specializing in plumbing, underground utilities, and site work may find opportunities as this program moves forward. Engaging with the CRA early could provide insight into specific project needs and timelines before formal bids are released.
