Project Franklin County is moving
forward on a plan to build a mile long beach and dune restoration
along Alligator Drive in Alligator Point.
The project is proposed to be 1.1 mile
in length, centered on the old KOA, which is now county owned
property.
Sand to build up the beach would be
taken from an existing site offshore.
The county is also proposing a 100 car
parking lot and a bathroom at the old KOA
The project is designed to help protect
the section of Alligator Drive and Chip Morrison that is subject to
storm damage.
Even if the plan is approved it is
still years away.
Funding would include $200,000 from
the 2021 legislature to complete the design and permitting for the
project, and then it will cost an estimated $10 million dollars to
build.
The state would pay half the cost while
the county would have to figure out where the other 5 million dollars
is coming from.
