Have your say: Manatee County seeks input on plans to deal with flooding, sea level rise (Source: WVUE) By ABC7 Staff | March 1, 2021 at 8:32 AM EST - Updated March 1 at 8:32 AM
MANATEE COUNTY, Fla. (WWSB) - Manatee County officials want the public’s opinion on proposed changes to the County’s Comprehensive Plan that will address the impacts of sea level rise and coastal flooding.
In 2020, Manatee County completed an analysis of the Comprehensive Plan, focusing on the Coastal Element and redevelopment components that eliminate unsafe development in coastal areas. The analysis assessed how the county has reacted to the state’s 2015 Peril of Flood Act, which specifies new requirements for the coastal management element of a local government’s comprehensive plan related to coastal flooding and the related impacts of sea level rise.
