Miami Dade: Multi-Million Dollar Grants To Fix Flooding

In an effort to help Florida's coastal and inland communities minimize the impacts of flooding and storm surge, state officials awarded more than $275 million in grants for wastewater projects.

The funds were awarded through the Resilient Florida program, distributed by the Florida Department of Environmental (DEP), to support 75 ongoing projects, including septic-to-sewer conversion and projects that address the threat of sea level rise.
