Town officials are asking for more than half a million dollars from a newly created state coffer aimed at preparing Florida for the rising seas that come with climate change.
The so-called Resilient Florida Program, which was created by lawmakers during the 2021 legislative session, set aside $520 million for municipalities to examine flood vulnerabilities and build protection for infrastructure against water threats.
