City of Perry
PUBLIC NOTICE WITH PUBLIC COMMENT PERIOD
The City of Perry plans to apply to the Florida Department of Commerce for a Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) to be funded by the 2023 and 2024 storms, which include Hurricane Idalia (DR-4734-FL), Hurricane Debby (DR-4806-FL), and Hurricane Helene (DR-4828-FL). The Florida Department of Commerce (Florida Commerce) is the lead agency and responsible entity for administering the CDBG-DR funds allocated to the state by HUD to address unmet disaster recovery needs related to damage from the 2023 and 2024 Storms. Florida Commerce has allocated $400,000,000 in funding to the Rebuild Florida Infrastructure Repair Program (IRP). The funds will be used to address infrastructure repairs and improvements that are needed as a result of these storms.
To address its long-term recovery needs, the City of Perry has identified a comprehensive list of critical infrastructure and public facility projects. From this list, the city has up to 15 projects that it will consider for this funding request. The projects that will potentially be included in the funding request are summarized into six major groups: 1.) Wastewater Treatment Facility Upgrades will harden and modernize the main treatment plant to better handle storm-related flows and ensure regulatory compliance. These projects will take place at the City of Perry Wastewater Treatment Facility, located at 507 Goff Street, Perry, FL. and have an estimated cost of $20,500,000. 2.) Effluent Disposal and Reuse System Hardening will add capacity and reliability to the system that disposes of treated wastewater, focusing on the city sprayfield and effluent pump station, for an estimated cost of $16,300,000. The spray field is located in the vicinity of Hampton Springs Road and the Fenholloway River. The effluent pump stations are located in various locations throughout the City of Perry. 3.) Drinking Water Source and Treatment Improvements will fund the construction of a new, hurricane-resistant water treatment plant and a new well to ensure a safe and redundant drinking water supply, for an estimated cost of $30,000,000. The existing water plant to be demolished is located at 713 Faulkner Street, Perry FL, while the new well and new water treatment plant will be located south of Perry’s City Hall in the either the southeast or southwest quadrant of the city. 4.) A city-wide Sanitary Sewer Collection and Drinking Water Distribution System Rehabilitation program will replace the oldest and most vulnerable sewer and water pipes to prevent failures during storms. These projects are located city-wide, with a focus on older/deteriorated pipes located mostly in and near the downtown area of Perry. The total estimated need cost is $157,550,000. 5.) The Wastewater Conveyance (Lift Station) Hardening project will rehabilitate 11 critical lift stations throughout the city to prevent sewer overflows for an estimated cost of $10,800,000. 6.) A new fire station is proposed to be located on two parcels of land located at 1405 South Jefferson Street, and 1311 South Jefferson Street, Perry. The City of Perry is requesting CDBG funds in the amount of $6,750,000 to be used for the acquisition of land and the construction of a fire station on the acquired land. The city’s current fire station, which is adjacent to Perry’s city hall, is over 100 years old and is too small and antiquated to effectively serve the city. In addition, it is in the vicinity of a special flood hazard area which could hinder response times in the event of future storm and hurricane events. All project costs include construction, engineering, and administration costs.
The beneficiaries of the proposed projects will be all residents in the City of Perry, of which over 51% have low to moderate incomes.
The City of Perry is requesting comments from the public on the proposed grant application (the funding request may be organized into one or more applications). Comments will be received by the City for at least 14 days from the date of this notice. The Comment Period Start Date is September 3, 2025 and Comment Period End Date is September 22, 2025. Comments should be directed to John Hart, City Manager, Perry City Hall, 224 S. Jefferson Street, Perry, FL 32347. Mr. Hart can also be reached at 850-584-7161 or by e-mail to jhart@cityofperry.net. Also, to request a copy of the application, and/or to request additional information concerning the application, please contact Mr. Hart at the phone or email address above. Please send your comments no later than September 22, 2025. The application will be submitted no later than September 29, 2025.
