Back in 2017 a major rain event was followed just two weeks later by Hurricane Irma, dumping up to 30 inches of rain on some areas of Lee County. The subsequent flooding destroyed homes and put lives at risk, which prompted county commissioners to approve a three phase plan to mitigate flooding in the future.
As the county prepares to share the third phase of that plan with the public on Tuesday, October 13 WGCU’s Andrea Perdomo spoke with the Director of Lee County Natural Resources, Roland Ottolini, to discuss their ongoing efforts being made to protect against storm water flooding in the county.
