Under the State of Florida, FloridaCommerce Agreement No. IR024 executed on June 27, 2022, the City of Edgewater was awarded Community Development Block Grant Mitigation (CDBG-MIT Subgrant Agreement IR024) funds of $14,697,665.00 by FloridaCommerce for the improvements to the G-2 and G-11 canals. The G2 and G-11 canal drainage basin is approximately 350 acres of urbanized low elevation areas that are prone to flooding. During hurricane events when there is heavy rainfall and a significant tidal surge, backflow from the Indian River through the Gabordy Canal prevents the G-2 and G-11 canals from effectively preventing flooding in the service area. When the canals are unable to properly drain the service area, floodwaters damage homes and create the risk of permanent housing loss.
