BACKGROUND:
Background
Transform386 was established to build a more resilient future for the residents of Volusia County. The program offers a number of avenues for the City and residents to find federal funds for disaster recovery after other sources fall short.
Transform386 partners with cities to purchase properties in flood-prone areas using federal disaster recovery funds. The two pathways are buyout and property acquisition; both avenues rely on willing sellers and the City’s cooperation.
In order for the City to participate in the buyout or acquisition pathways, the City must pass a resolution stating that the City of Deltona desires to participate in the program; designates authority to the City Manager to approve or decline specific property transfers; and be prepared to accept and maintain properties as greenspace or stormwater infrastructure.
Any properties acquired under this program and deeded to the City shall not be sold or used for any other purposes.
