Re: Indian River County CDBG-ED Grant Application (CVS Distribution Center)
Certification of Available Water, Wastewater, & Road Capacity & Certification of
Land Use Consistency
Dear Ms. Flemming:
Please be advised that Indian River County is seeking a CDBG-ED grant to fund required fire
protection facilities, water and sewer facilities, and road improvements for a proposed CVS
distribution center near the northwest corner of 98"' Avenue and S.R. 60 in unincorporated Indian
River County.
Proposed grant funded activities will include, but not be limited to, the construction of 2,781
linear feet of 12 -inch water main, 170 linear feet of 8 -inch water main, 1,532 linear feet of 10 -
inch water main, 1,392 linear feet of 6 -inch sewer main, and improvements to portions of three
separate roads (98`h Avenue, 1001" Avenue and 22nd Street).
By way of this letter and the support documents attached hereto, the Indian River County Board
of County.Commissioners certifies that the proposed project is consistent with both the County's
comprehensive plan and land development regulations, and that the County has adequate water,
sewer, and road capacity to serve the project.
The project is important to Indian River County, as the CVS distribution center is a strong
national employer that can help to reduce unemployment and improve the quality of life for area
residents.
If you find that you have any questions or need further information please do not hesitate to
contact county staff or our consultant.
Sincerely,
Caroline D. Ginn, Chairman
Indian River County Board of County Commissioners
