Historic Preservation Resilience

Resiliency Toolkit

In December 2023, the City Commission adopted the Strategic Historic Preservation Plan that was funded by a Small Matching Grant from the Florida Department of State’s Division of Historical Resources. Within the Strategic Historic Preservation Plan, Goal 1 is to increase the resilience of historic resources to better withstand the threat of flooding and climate-related disasters.
