MIDWAY, Fla. — Seminole County leaders are looking for ways to fix the flooding problems that residents of the Midway community near Sanford are dealing with after a rainy weekend.
What You Need To Know
- After a rainy weekend, Midway is flooded again
- Residents have been reporting similar problems for decades
- A consultant recommends more stormwater ponds and ditch improvement
- The county commission will receive a final drainage report in late October
The county has applied for a community development block grant to help pay for drainage improvements to try to put an end to the flooding problems that have troubled Midway for decades. After a Florida rainstorm, water from all over the area runs into Midway and settles there, causing a mess.
An engineering consultant released a drainage study last week that calls for more stormwater ponds, ditch improvement, and better drainage, and the county is seeking resident feedback.
A final drainage report will go to the Seminole County Commission in late October.
