On Monday night, July 15th at 7:00 PM the Council of North County Neighborhoods will present the Pinellas County Post Disaster Redevelopment Plan.
This plan addresses what the county intends to implement following a devastating natural disaster. It includes:
*Short Term Recovery, including damage assessment; request for Presidential Disaster Declaration; establishing disaster assistance programs; public information; transition from shelters to temporary housing; utility restoration; and debris removal
*Long Term Redevelopment, including:
*Reconstruction – rebuilding destroyed or damaged housing stock
*Commercial and industrial buildings
*Public facilities and infrastructure
*Holistic” recovery – employment opportunities; social networks; cultural events; environmental quality; educational/recreational opportunities
*Community “enhancement” (…”going beyond restoring all aspects of the community to normal functions by creating conditions improved over those that existed before the disaster”) – implementing hazard mitigation projects during rebuilding; strengthening building codes; changing land use and zoning designations; improving transportation corridors; building more affordable housing; and developing new economic opportunities
The CNCN has invited speakers from the following organizations of the Pinellas County government to speak:
Commissioner Latvala - Board of County Commissioners
Sally Bishop - Director of Emergency Management
David Walker - Program Manager for PDRP, Dept of Strategic Planning and Initiatives
Council of North County Neighborhoods
