How much will the Long-term Beach Restoration Project Cost Initially?
According to Volusia County, construction costs for a full-scale beach restoration effort for the south beach shoreline are estimated to be $ 20,000,000 to $ 40,000,000. A project of this magnitude would result in the restoration of 8 to 9 miles of shoreline with beach compatible sand being filled 6′ to 9′ high and 200′ to 300′ wide from the seawalls to the waters edge. Project construction will likely be contingent on state and local, and perhaps Federal funding availability and local strategic programmatic decisions related to such.
