Polk County BOCC Peace River Resilience Project

The Polk County BOCC Peace River Resilience Project, identified by solicitation number MS024, is an infrastructure repair program managed through the Florida Department of Commerce. This subrecipient agreement utilizes Community Development Block Grant Disaster Recovery funds to support resilience efforts, with a strict requirement that at least 70 percent of the funds benefit low- and moderate-income individuals. The project is governed by federal and state regulations, including 2 CFR Part 200 and 24 CFR Part 570, and mandates rigorous reporting and audit access to ensure compliance. The agreement is linked to the Rebuild Florida Hazard Mitigation Grant Match Program, which allows applicants to use these funds to cover the non-federal cost share, up to 25 percent, of eligible FEMA Hazard Mitigation Grant Program projects. The current agreement period for the Peace River Resilience Project extends through April 30, 2030, following a revision on November 5, 2025.
