Residents demand action on persistent flooding crisis
During a recent government meeting, residents expressed growing concerns over persistent flooding issues in the Foxborough subdivision, particularly following severe weather events like Hurricane Ian. One resident, Tammy Oder, highlighted that her home experienced significant flooding, with nearly two feet of water during Ian and an additional seven inches in recent storms.

Oder pointed to a broken drainage system, specifically referencing the Cambridge area, which she believes has contributed to the flooding problems. Despite assurances that repairs would be made, she noted that two years have passed without resolution.

City Manager of Port Orange acknowledged the situation, indicating that while improvement projects are underway, they may not fully address the underlying issues causing the flooding. Residents are left feeling frustrated, as they worry that even with planned enhancements, their flooding challenges may persist. The meeting underscored the urgent need for effective solutions to mitigate flooding risks in vulnerable neighborhoods.
