Hillsborough County Tax Collector Nancy Millan will speak alongside County Commissioner Harry Cohen, State Senator Jay Collins, State Representative Susan Valdez, and Congresswoman Kathy Castor, among others.

“This neighborhood wasn’t asked to evacuate, but flooded anyway,” County Commissioner Cohen said.

Cohen added that debris removal remains a main priority for the area. An investigation is also being launched regarding the flooding following Hurricane Milton and will undergo an assessment to hold the people in charge accountable.

Senator Collins shared several resources including SPA assistance for businesses at 1-800-659-2955 and loan programs for agricultural businesses at 1-800-342-3557. Hope Florida is also available for resources.
