🌧️🚧 Baldwin County Completes Surfside Drive Drainage Improvements Project
As we prepare for the 2026 Atlantic hurricane season, the Baldwin County Commission is proud to announce the completion of the Surfside Drive Drainage Improvements Project in the Fort Morgan area.
This $2.7 million ARPA-funded project enhances community resilience by reducing flooding, improving stormwater flow, and better protecting homes and roadways during major rain events. The project includes approximately 5,500 feet of new drainage infrastructure, providing a positive outfall that moves water away from low-lying areas more efficiently.
For years, residents near Surfside Drive have faced prolonged flooding after hurricanes and severe storms, often limiting access to homes and emergency services. This new system is designed to speed up the recession of floodwaters, restore access sooner after major weather events, and reduce the likelihood of recurring flooding issues.
The Baldwin County Commission remains committed to investing in infrastructure that safeguards residents, strengthens community resilience, and supports a higher quality of life across the county.
