Gov. Scott Spends Morning With Flood Victims, Local Leaders To Address Recovery
May 9, 2014
Gov. Rick Scott met with local leaders and residents Thursday morning in Pensacola to assess recovery operations in the areas impacted by flooding.
Scott first visited the Piedmont Road area, located between Bayou Boulevard and Summit Boulevard, near the Pensacola International Airport. Scott got a first hand look at the efforts to restore basic services like water and sewer and residents worked to make repairs to their homes.
Scott promised the continued support of the state government in the recovery efforts in Escambia and Santa Rosa counties, which were both recently declared federal disaster areas.
