TAYLOR COUNTY, Fla. (WTXL) â $750,000 is coming to Taylor County to give the community a better quality of life. Thomas Demps with the Taylor County Commission said it will "help them to be able to live a little bit better."
At least 11 homes in the unincorporated parts of the county will see much needed funding, to fix or tear-down, sub-par homes and give temporary assistance for relocation in the process.
Florida Governor Ron DeSantis announced $29 million in statewide assistance at a press conference in Perry. It's part of the Florida Department of Economic Opportunity's Small Cities Community Development Block Grant Program (CDBG) which will give several Big Bend communities the means to rehabilitate homes to improve poor living conditions.
