Baldwin County Local Recovery Plan

Local Recovery Plan Overview

Baldwin County’s Local Recovery Plan (LRP) provides a high-level strategy for how CDBG-DR funding will be used to address eligible communities' long-term resiliency and mitigation needs. The LRP will be developed with the input from County stakeholders, County Departments and Divisions, local jurisdictions, advocacy groups and community partners, to determine the County’s remaining long-term resiliency needs and the most critical disaster mitigation needs.

Baldwin County will complete a draft Local Recovery Plan and publish the document for public comment on this website. 

The draft Action Plan will be available for a 30-day public review and comment period from July 19, 2024, to August 18, 2024.

Notices of the public comment period will be published by:

• Wednesday, June 26, 2024
• Friday, June 28, 2024

Public comments received during the 30-day comment period and at the public meetings, as well as staff responses to the comments received, will be summarized and available on this webpage.

After the 30-day public comment period and public meetings (2), the final LRP was submitted to ADECA for review and approval. ADECA's approval of the Baldwin County LRP is required before funds become available for programs and activities.

Plan Amendments

Baldwin County can amend the adopted LRP based on updated local needs assessments. All LRP amendments will include a chart or table that illustrates how all funds are budgeted and will be published on this website. Each amendment will describe the changes within the context of the entire adopted LRP.

In the event of an amendment, the County will publish the amended LRP and provide a 30-day comment period prior to submission to ADECA.

All amendments will be published on ADECA’s disaster recovery website and will afford citizens, local governments, and interested parties an opportunity to review and comment on the amendment prior to ADECA’s acceptance.

Any updates or changes to the adopted LRP in response to public comments will be clearly identified in the final version of the amended and adopted LRP. A summary of the public comments received regarding the amendment, and ADECA’s response to each, will be included in the amendment’s finalization process for approval locally and acceptance by ADECA.
