City gives update on Hurricane Sally repairs

   November 4, 2021

The City of Pensacola is continuing to work diligently with the Federal Emergency Management Agency to acquire the necessary approvals and funding in order to complete remaining repairs from Hurricane Sally damage. All remaining FEMA-funded projects related to Hurricane Sally damage in the City of Pensacola are expected to be completed by Summer 2022, except for Wayside Park.

The public’s patience is appreciated as the city works through the FEMA process required to move forward with repairs to City of Pensacola parks, boardwalks, waterfront areas and other public amenities that were damaged by Hurricane Sally.
