Services Provided/Benefit to State: |
|
|
|
|
|
||||
This building would be used as a disaster shelter for the South Central Florida area. Due to the fact that the building will be located on the fair grounds, it would have ample space to facilitate shlter for animals during a disaster. Also, it would be used for many community events such as agricultrural and industrial exhibitions, public gatherings, cultural activities, school events and other functions which enhance the educational, agricultural, horticultural, livestock, charitable, historical, civic, cultural, scientific, and other resources of the geographical area that the Fair Association represents and serves. |

Measurable Outcome Anticipated: |
|
|
|
|
|
||||
Will provide a safe haven to local residents who live in mobile homes or low lying areas and citizens who reside in our coastal counties that are forced to leave during an evacuation order. When not in use as a shelter, it will serve as a community center for residents in the surrounding areas. |
