Florida Governor Ron DeSantis awarded more than $8.7 million Friday to nine small and rural Florida communities through the Florida Small Cities Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) program for housing and community development activities.
This builds upon more than $87 million invested in 123 community development projects for Florida communities since 2019.
“I am happy to announce these awards for nine small and rural communities — four of which are actively recovering from the impacts of Hurricane Idalia,” said Governor Ron DeSantis. “Strategic investments like these help expand economic opportunities for families and strengthen our rural communities.”
