Polk County is considering a State Housing Initiative Partnership (SHIP) Program Demolition/Reconstruction project for a property in Auburndale, Florida. This project involves approving a Homeowner Assistance Agreement and a Grant Agreement. The total one-time expense for this initiative is $205,567.50. This item is currently pending before the Board of County Commissioners. If approved, the project would involve the demolition of an existing structure and the reconstruction of a new home. This could create opportunities for general contractors, demolition services, concrete and masonry work, framing, roofing, electrical, plumbing, and HVAC contractors. Suppliers of building materials would also be needed. Engaging with the county early, before final plans and permits are issued, could provide local businesses with an advantage in securing future work related to this program.
