On July 3, 2024, both the City Commission and the CRA passed and adopted Resolutions R-2024-230 and R-CRA-2024-29 respectively, ratifying the submission of an application to the FDEP Resilient Florida Grant Program for the Hollywood Coastal Roadway Resiliency Phase IV Project, in an amount up to $28,000,000.00 with the required 50% in matching funds contribution from the CRA.
