County
Commissioners are hoping to get some BP oil spill to complete three major
projects in our area.
The board is seeking funding for
three projects that include the dredging of the Eastpoint channel and for 2
mile channel.
The third is a Regional artificial
reef program between Franklin, Gulf and Wakulla counties.
The board approved the projects
weeks ago and has already submitted them for funding through the Gulf
Environmental Benefit Fund.
The 2 and a half billion dollar
fund was created after the 2010 Deepwater Horizon oil spill to benefit the natural resources of the Gulf Coast
that were impacted by the spill.
The Fund has already supported 75 projects
worth nearly $500 million including oyster restoration in the Pensacola
Bay and [protecting sea turtles from light pollution on Florida beaches.
