City Working with FEMA to Complete Remaining Hurricane Sally Repairs

The City of Pensacola is continuing to work diligently with the Federal Emergency Management Agency to acquire the necessary approvals and funding in order to complete remaining repairs from Hurricane Sally damage. The public's patience is appreciated as the city works through the FEMA process required to move forward with repairs to City of Pensacola parks, boardwalks, waterfront areas and other public amenities that were damaged by Hurricane Sally.

In addition to the FEMA approval process, which is necessary for the City of Pensacola to receive federal funding for these projects, the construction timelines may be impacted by the nationwide shortage of lumber and material, potentially delaying some projects.

"We understand that our residents are anxious to see these repairs completed so we can get our hurricane-damaged parks and waterfront areas looking beautiful again," Mayor Grover Robinson said. "The city is also more than ready to move these projects forward, and our employees are working with FEMA as quickly as possible to make that happen. Thank you for your patience and understanding while we work to restore the amenities that we know so many of our residents and visitors enjoy."

Residents are encouraged to use the interactive Capital Improvement Projects Dashboard on the City of Pensacola website, which will be updated with the latest information about FEMA projects as well as other capital improvement projects throughout the city.
