The City of Mount Dora is reviewing an application for flood control and drainage improvements. This project aims to reduce flood risks to various facilities, including buildings, roads, and utilities, through measures such as drainage improvements, roadway elevation, and flood diversion. The project is currently under review by the State of Florida Mitigation Technical Unit for a benefit cost analysis. If approved, the project could involve site clearing, grading, underground utility work, and potentially road construction or elevation. Professional engineers will be required for design and implementation, with initial funds possibly available for detailed designs before construction begins. Local contractors, suppliers, and service providers are encouraged to engage early, as this project is in its early planning stages, before site plans, bids, and permits are finalized, offering an advantage in securing potential work.
