Summary
Volusia County faces a looming cash crunch that threatens to derail critical stormwater projects—drainage, flood control, and even basic maintenance could be cut as funds vanish by 2030. With major construction projects underway and new flooding challenges emerging, officials are eyeing a hike in stormwater impact fees, a move residents already struggling with worsening floods find hard to swallow. County leaders admit the gap between funding and needs is widening, with $150 million already earmarked but likely insufficient. A fee increase, last done in 2022, may be coming soon—with options including reallocating funds from other services or reassessing fee adequacy—though no final decision is set, it’s top of mind for the next council meeting.
