Public Notice of Grant

The Orange County Fire Rescue Department (OCFRD) is currently pursuing a funding opportunity through the Florida Department of Economic Opportunity (DEO). The DEO has designated a total of $475 million to be allocated through the Rebuild Florida Mitigation General Infrastructure Program. These funds have been provided through the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development’s Community Development Block Grant – Mitigation (CDBG-MIT) to areas impacted by presidentially declared disasters in 2016 and 2017 with the purpose of better protecting Florida from future disasters.

OCFRD will apply for funding to construct a new fire station on Caneel Bay Blvd. near the intersection with Wyndham Lakes Blvd. This station will provide faster response times for the Boggy Creek area as new development continues. OCFRD owns a 2.4 acre parcel where the station would be constructed, and a station design has already been developed.

OCFRD will receive public comments on this project from August 30 through September 13. To submit comments, please email FireRescue1@ocfl.net and include “CDBG Grant” in the subject line. Jacob Lujan, Compliance and Planning Administrator, will be the contact person for this process. Please note in your email if you wish to receive a copy of the proposed application.
