| Item Title: | Resielence Planning Grant | | Date: | 1/28/2019 | | Department: | Planning & Economic Opportunity |
|
| | | | | | | | | Background: | Nassau County has been selected for a Resilience Planning Grant (RPG) with the Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) Florida Resilient Coastlines Program (FRCP). PEO applied for the grant to conduct a Vulnerability Assessment for two specific areas of the County: 1) east of I-95 on the mainland, and 2) west of I-95 south and west of A1A/SR200/301. Amelia Island is not included in the request due to existing Vulnerability Assessment work conducted in 2013, and the remainder of western Nassau is not included at this time in order to keep the scope of work manageable for purposes of the grant time period. It is anticipated that the remainder of Western Nassau would be addressed through a second phase Vulnerability Assessment in the future. A Vulnerability Assessment for our rapidly growing areas, and areas with demonstrated existing flooding issues, will help us better prepare Nassau County and will dovetail well with existing long-range planning projects that are currently underway to include:
- SR200/A1A Corridor Design Plan
- William Burgess District Connectivity Report
- Western Nassau Heritage Preservation initiative
- Recreation
- Conservation Land Acquisition
- Updating Development Review Regulations
- Cultural Resources Survey Grant
- School Board Growth and Land Use Committee
- Updating Comprehensive Plan with Peril of Flood Requirements
