The Midtown neighborhood of Daytona Beach saw bad flooding during the 2022 hurricane season.
Rep. Michael Waltz said the city is weeks away from signing a historic agreement with the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers.
It will bring economists, biologists, and other experts together for a feasibility study.
“What’s amazing about these federal projects and what’s important, is that they are also buying the maintenance and repairs for the decades to follow,” Waltz said.
