What happened?
Town leaders say the restored class-five rating brings a 25% discount back to policyholders starting April 1. The approval follows months of work on permitting, code enforcement, and floodplain procedures after the town’s probation period. Officials are framing it as a significant financial break for residents and businesses still rebuilding.
Why it matters
A 25% flood-insurance break is real money in a storm-battered beach town, especially for owners and businesses still trying to recover from the post-Ian permitting and rebuilding mess.
