Total CDBG-DR Funding: $3,149,999.57
Total Project Cost: $3,500,000.00
This project involves the construction of a large stormwater pond within the Lantern Park subdivision to alleviate the catastrophic flooding there. The scope of work includes the purchase of vacant land from a willing seller and the excavation of a three acre pond that will collect and store stormwater runoff in lieu of it being stored in the streets and surrounding homes. This project should alleviate the flooding caused by the rainfall experienced by Hurricane Ian which devastated Volusia County, and caused extensive  flooding in the  Lantern Park Subdivsion.

South Daytona Sherwood Forest Stormwater Pond - Round 1
Total CDBG-DR Funding: $1,125,000.00
Total Project Cost: $4,500,000.00
This project involves the construction of a stormwater pond within the Sherwood Forest subdivision to alleviate the catastrophic flooding there. The project will also include the installation of a pump station to maintain the pond level before, during, and after a storm.  The pump station will incorporate a generator designed to activate in the event of a power loss to ensure the station remains operational. In the immediate aftermath of Hurricane Ian in 2022, residents had to be rescued from their homes due to the fact that there is not a stormwater impoundment area or pond within the entire subdivision.

South Daytona Aspen Stormwater Pond Expansion Phase 1 - Round 2
Total CDBG-DR Funding: $1,000,000.00
Total Project Cost: $4,000,000.00
This project seeks to increase the size of the existing stormwater pond on Aspen Drive to alleviate the catastrophic flooding experienced in the 228-home Big Tree Village subdivision. The project will also include the replacement of the existing stormwater pump station located here with a bigger station designed to maintain the larger pond level before, during and after a storm. In the immediate aftermath of Hurricane Ian in 2022, the residents of the Big Tree subdivision had to be rescued from their homes due to floodwaters that were waist-high in some locations.

South Daytona Stevens Canal Bank Stabilization - Round 1
Total CDBG-DR Funding: $2,500,000.00
Total Project Cost: $2,500,000.00
This project intends to stabilize the banks of the Stevens Canal with sheet piling to prevent the severe erosion it experiences during and immediately following a severe weather event. During Hurricane Ian, the banks of the Stevens Canal eroded and collapsed due to stormwater flows which caused several blockages and flooding throughout the entire central part of the City.

City of South Daytona – Aspen Stormwater Pond Expansion Phase 2 - Round 2
Total CDBG-DR Funding: $4,000,000
Total Project Cost: $4,240,271
The expected result from the construction of this project is that the road flooding in this subdivision will be reduced from three times a year to none.  This project should keep the roadways from flooding during intense rainstorms thereby allowing unfettered access for the public and emergency vehicles at all times.  While you can’t say for certainty that homes will not flood during all severe weather events, this project should alleviate the flooding caused by the rainfall experienced by Hurricane Ian which devastated Volusia County.
