The City of Edgewater was awarded $750,000 from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) through the State of Florida’s CDBG program, to rehabilitate 7,650 linear feet (LF) of sanitary sewer lines and twenty-four (24) Manholes generally within the Hart Avenue Neighborhood. This project will benefit approximately 371 persons, of which 265 (or 71.43%) are considered low-to-moderate-income (LMI).

This project complies with the U.S. Department of Housing and Community Development’s Benefit to LMI Persons National Objective and continues the improvements within the Hart Avenue neighborhood subsequent to the recently completed stormwater project, which also was funded through a CDBG grant.
