Commissioners voted unanimously Monday night to purchase two parcels on Coquina Avenue for $459,000. But first, the city needs to make sure its plans to mitigate flooding will actually work.
Several people who live in the area spoke at the meeting about how constant flooding impacts their quality of life.
For the most part, residents supported the acquisition. Some had concerns about whether or not it will work.
