The Courtney Knight Gaines Foundation out of Savannah, Georgia has provided two grants to help Mexico Beach rebuild after Hurricane Michael.

The Foundation just awarded two grants totaling $25,000 to the City and to the Mexico Beach Artificial Reef Association.

$15,000 is for artificial reef construction, $8,000 for Canal restoration, and $2,000 for Pier replacement.

The Foundation has been a supporter of the Mexico Beach Artificial Reef Association for the past 5 years in several reef construction projects.

The $15,000 award this year represents Phase III of a five-phase project to construct a large reef off the coast of Mexico Beach.

The reef will cost $75,000 in total and is being fully funded by the Foundation.

The Foundation also distributed additional grant awards of $8,000 to help restore the Mexico Beach canal and $2,000 to replace the Mexico Beach pier.

If you would like to help the City of Mexico Beach with storm recovery, donations are still being accepted.
