Project Description:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Construction of a multi-use shelter which will serve as an emergency shelter and local meeting area.  Currently, residents living in the western portion of the County have no shelter space.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Services Provided/Benefit to State:

 

 

 

 

 

This shelter would allow those traveling through Glades County from lowers area of the State to use shelter space in Glades County and protect lives during a storm.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Measurable Outcome Anticipated:

 

 

 

 

 

The shelter would enable the county to accommodate evacuees traveling along US Hwy 27.  (During Hurricane Andrew, traffic was at a stand still on US Hwy 27 in Glades County.)  Because of the rural nature of Glades County, the building costs are much lower than in the urban costal areas where the evacuation will start.
