Palm Coast will receive $54.55 million in state appropriations this year.
Gov. Ron DeSantis signed the state's $116.5 billion budget on June 15, approving multiple allocations for Palm Coast and vetoing one: A $5 million allocation to build a new Fire Station 22. A $5 million allocation for a different fire station, Station 26, survived the governor's veto pen.
The major areas of state investment, according to a city government news release, include:
"These state appropriations represent a significant milestone for our city," Mayor David Alfin said, according to the news release. "They will enable us to address critical infrastructure requirements, begin expansion into the western boundaries of the city, protect our citizens with increased flood protection, enhance public safety, and strengthen our community bonds. We extend our heartfelt appreciation to our dedicated representatives, especially House Speaker Renner, Sen. Hutson, and Gov. DeSantis for recognizing the importance of Palm Coast's growth and well-being."
