February 11, 2022 – Flagler County is undertaking the development of a Stormwater Master Plan to address all aspects of stormwater management within the county, and is hosting two public meetings – February 22 and March 1 – to introduce residents to the process.
“We will be assessing flooding, water quality, and future resiliency issues,” said County Engineer Faith Alkhatib. “The master planning process will identify measures to improve current drainage infrastructure, reduce pollutant loading to water bodies, and provide strategies to accommodate future development.”
Public feedback regarding current problems and issues as well input into future management strategies is crucial to the success of the master planning process. To facilitate citizen participation, the county and its consultant, Geosyntec Consultants, will conduct two introductory public meetings at 5:30 p.m. on consecutive Tuesdays – February 22 at the Government Services Building and March 1 at the Hidden Trails Community Center.
Each meeting will include a presentation to provide an overview of the stormwater master planning process, what will be addressed, and expected outcomes. The meetings will also provide a venue for public questions, input, and comments.
Each meeting will be in-person at the following times and locations:
Tuesday, February 22
5:30 to 7:30 p.m.
Commission Chambers, Government Services Building
1769 E. Moody Blvd., Bunnell
This meeting will be live-streamed on the Flagler County YouTube page.
Tuesday, March 1
5:30 to 7:30 p.m.
Hidden Trails Community Center
6108 Mahogany Blvd. Bunnell
A public comment survey form will be provided at the introductory public meetings for resident input, and will also be made available online.
