Request for feasibility study to find flooding solutions approved 

At the March 1 City Commission meeting, Congressman Michael Waltz zoomed in to share a special announcement from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE). Daytona Beach’s request for a feasibility study to address chronic flooding has been included in the USACE’s 2023 Work Plan for Army Civil Works program. The $3 million cost of the study will be federally funded through the Disaster Relief Supplemental Appropriation Act. A big thank you to Congressman Waltz and the many who advocated for this important study, which is a prerequisite to be eligible for federal funding.
