This action complies with the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP) requirements.

Completed Work and Purpose:
The following roads have been repaired back to pre-disaster design, function, and capacity within the Community of Alligator Point in Franklin County Florida.
• Roadway Shoulder Repairs completed with Lime Road Base:
Harbor Circle, Chip Morrison Rd, Clemens St., George Vause Rd., & Alan Ln.
• Roadway Repair completed with Milled Asphalt:
Angus Morrison Rd.
• Roadway Shoulder Grading and Repair:
Bay View Dr.
• Roadway and Shoulder Repair completed with Lime Rock
Harry Morrison Rd.
Project Alternatives:
FEMA has determined that the only practicable alternative is to repair the Roadways and Shoulders to their pre-disaster condition to provide necessary access to residents.
The no action alternative has been considered; this alternative is not feasible; the roads provide necessary access for residents. Alternate locations for the roads outside of a floodplain are not practicable because Alligator Point is entirely within a mapped floodplain.
