Beach project planning moves ahead : Delray Beach

Delray Beach authorized Coastal Planning & Engineering Inc. to proceed with preliminary engineering for the 2012 beach renourishment project for up to $428,412.
The funds are 100 percent reimbursable from federal, state and county governments, according to a memo from Paul Dorling, director of planning and zoning, delivered at commissioners’ Aug. 4 meeting.
The work will include analysis to determine the project size, scope and initial beach fill design, as well as preparation of a beach renourishment design that will be incorporated in the state and federal joint coastal permit application.
