This landmark electric vehicle (EV) roadmap legislation will help to create a master plan for DC fast-charging (Level 3) infrastructure along Florida’s interstate corridor system, including nearby I-95. The law acknowledges the risks of climate change and identifies electric transportation as a means to combat it. The new law also tasks specific state agencies to identify barriers and opportunities to advance electric vehicle (EV) adoption, including legislative and policy recommendations and requires an interim report at the end of 2020 with a final report by July 2021.

The City of Cape Canaveral will be applying for a grant via the Florida Department of Economic Opportunity (FDEO) for a Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) for Disaster Recovery (DR) from Hurricanes Hermine (2016), Matthew (2016) and Irma (2017), through the Rebuild Florida General Infrastructure Program.

Projects will be in line with recommendations from the City’s Vulnerability Assessment. Examples of projects that could be funded include:

• Building or fortifying buildings that are essential to the health, safety and welfare of a community 
• Rehabilitation or construction of stormwater management systems
• Improvements to drainage facilities
• Reconstruction of lift stations and sewage treatment plants
• Road repair and improvement and bridge strengthening

The goal is ensure the WRF can run on solar and associated battery systems in the event of a storm or loss of power.

A public comment period running from June 22, 2020 through July 6, 2020 (14 days) will be held for residents regarding this grant opportunity and how it can be utilized by the City.
