The City of Panama City (“the City”) aims to utilize Community Development Block Grant-Mitigation (CDBG-MIT) funds to eliminate and protect the risk to residents and property from recurring flooding in Low- and Moderate-Income (LMI) areas. As a result of Hurricane Michael’s powerful winds and catastrophic damage, detrimental effects such as flooding due to an increase in stormwater runoff from the loss of trees are posing a risk to public health and safety. To mitigate against flooding infiltrating homes and islanding residents from evacuating to a shelter, the City is proposing to construct new stormwater infrastructure to store volumes of runoff and channel the runoff to the St. Andrews Bay and away from urban areas to restore functionality to the current stormwater system with an overall project budget of $6,098,586. The new infrastructure consists of a wet detention pond that will retain and outflow runoff during flood events, controlled by a structure, called a weir, attached to the culvert which directs the flow of water to the bay.
