The waiver will mean about $17 million in savings for Bay County. In taking this action, the state will be covering part or all of the federal aid match requirements for local governments which have taken fiscal hits because of the hurricane.
DeSantis said that since he took office in January 2019, Hurricane Michael recovery has been a priority for him. He has made several visits during the past couple of years to announce recovery aid. We knew when I came into office in January of 2019, this was a long-term effort, DeSantis said. We let the people of Northwest Florida know that we understand that this is going to be a long-term effort.
