Milestones

Project Description

The Town has contracted with Davis & Floyd Engineering to develop a series of drainage studies designed to serve as planning tools for securing funding and implementing improvements. The Interior Lagoon Study has been completed, and the Town has already applied for funding to advance the recommended work in phases. In addition, Davis & Floyd is currently preparing a Town-Wide Drainage Planning Strategy that will categorize future drainage study areas by priority. The firm is also conducting a focused drainage study for the Yacht Club Road area to evaluate needs and identify solutions specific to that corridor
