Multi-Year Implementation Plan
The Resources and Ecosystems Sustainability, Tourist Opportunities, and Revived Economies of the Gulf Coast States Act of 2012, or RESTORE Act, and U.S. Department of Treasury’s regulations direct Escambia County to prepare a Multi-Year Implementation Plan that prioritizes eligible activities for Direct Component funds awarded to the county through the Deepwater Horizon Settlement and RESTORE Act, and to obtain broad-based participation from individuals, businesses, Indian tribes and non-profit organizations as part of plan preparation.
The Escambia County Board of County Commissioners established the RESTORE Advisory Committee in 2012 to gain input from Escambia County citizens to develop a Needs Assessment, Selection Criteria and rank project submittals to the Project Portal. The BCC then shortlisted the following ten projects in February 2017 to include in the initial MYIP.
In preparation of submitting the final MYIP, Escambia County accepted public comment for a period of 45 days for those projects included within the plan. Escambia County BCC authorized staff at the May 25, 2017 regular board meeting to conduct the 45 day public comment period. The public comment period opened June 5, 2017 and closed July 19, 2017.
Escambia County received 349 public comments for the 2016-2017 MYIP. The public comments were summarized and addressed in the MYIP Public Comment Summary Report found on the right side of the page or by clicking
here. At the September 7, 2017 Board Meeting, Escambia County BCC authorized staff to submit the MYIP without modification to the U.S. Treasury Department. The U.S. Department of Treasury approved the Escambia County 2016-17 MYIP on October 20, 2017. Approval of the MYIP allows Escambia County to begin individual grant applications for the projects. It is anticipated final adoption of grant awards will occur in the first quarter of 2018 with projects beginning shortly thereafter.
