SUMMARY:
The City of Pensacola’s Engineering and Construction Services Division was successful in securing grant funding through the Florida Department of Environmental Protection (FDEP) Agency. These funds were awarded on the basis of inclusion of bioretention cells into a flood mitigation project being designed by the Engineering and Construction Services Division. In essence, these funds allow the City to include a method to treat stormwater in conjunction with the larger flood mitigation project. The award of $500,000.00 comes from the Florida Department of Environmental Protection's Green Stormwater Infrastructure Program. The bioretention cells will be graded into the right of way of Barrancas Avenue and will incorporate landscaping and plantings. This will serve to beautify the right of way, allow for infiltration of standing water, and continue the city's ongoing efforts to improve water quality of local waterways.
