County Commissioners this week signed a contract with
a company the Florida Retrofit Construction Company out of Palm Bay, Florida to
serve as the contractor for the county’s Residential Construction Mitigation
Program.
The
Residential Construction Mitigation Program is a state funded program to help
Franklin County Residents mitigate their homes against strong winds.
The
program is designed to help lower income residents make their homes more wind
resistant.
The
program can help pay for the installation of hurricane resistant doors and
shutters as well as repair roofs or add straps to existing roofs.
The
program is open to Franklin County households with incomes below 120 percent of
the area median and below.
Emergency
Management Director Pam Brownell said they are accepting applications for the
program and plan to continue applying for grant money to provide even more
funding for the program in the future.
If
you are interested in applying or learning more about Residential Construction
Mitigation Program, you can find applications and criteria on the Franklin
County Emergency Management website at franklincountyemergencymangement.com.
You
can also pick up an application at the Emergency Management Office at the
Apalachicola Airport.
