FEMA Awards Nearly $500K Grant for Lake City Infrastructure Upgrades
What happened
Lake City received a nearly $500,000 grant from the Federal Emergency Management Agency for storm drainage upgrades. The funds, provided through the Hazard Mitigation Grant Program, address infrastructure issues stemming from a June 2024 windstorm. The grant will be used to replace 11 aging generators that provide emergency power to pump stations across the city.

Why it matters
The grant supports the replacement of generators critical for sewage and stormwater drainage systems. This investment helps mitigate the risk of sewage backing up into homes and reduces the likelihood of flooding.
