The beach renourishment project is the third installment of a fifty-year shore stabilization project, with renourishment cycles occurring every five years. The full design template of the renourishment project will be constructed under this settlement agreement. The majority of the $16 million project is funded by the federal government. “Maintaining our beaches is vital to the economy of all the local municipalities and St. Johns County,” said Darrell Locklear, Assistant County Administrator for Operations. “The federal funds for this renourishment project were at some risk of being reallocated elsewhere due to delays caused by the litigation. But thanks to Congressman Mica, the funds were secured until this settlement could be reached, allowing the ACOE to construct the project. There is considerable uncertainty of when these types of federal funds will be made available again.” “Runway to Hope” A Benefit Cocktail and Fashion Extravaganza The World Golf Village Auxiliary of Betty Griffin House will host its first fashion show benefiting the programs of the Safety Shelter of St. Johns County.
