Local government assistance
Cost-sharing programs
Introduction
The St. Johns River Water Management District enters a variety of partnerships with local governments, other agencies, nonprofit groups and various entities to expand the reach of the District’s water resource protection, restoration and education efforts. Sometimes, these partnerships include sharing funds.
For accounting purposes, shared funding has different names. In all cases, the funding or in-kind services that the District obligates are used for a program or project that is within the District’s authority under Florida law and is mutually beneficial to the District and its partners.
As an agency of the state, the District’s business is open to public inspection. To enhance the public’s ability to see how grants and cost-share or cooperative funding are utilized, the District has developed a new search tool that allows Web visitors to search by project name, city, county or other search parameters. We invite you to visit the Cooperative Funding Report page for additional information.
More information
The Florida Water Protection and Sustainability Program was created through passage of Senate bills 360 and 444 during the 2005 legislative session and their subsequent signing into law by former Gov. Jeb Bush. The purpose of this program is to provide cost-share funding for construction of alternative water supply projects.
The St. Johns River Water Management District Governing Board established a cost-sharing program to assist local governments and other entities in addressing stormwater needs.
For additional information, please contact the intergovernmental coordinator representing your area.
