More than 80,000 cubic yards of sediment will be removed, with final design and permit submission pushed to early 2027 and dredging to 2029, after county commissioners approved a $14.7 million budget amendment on July 10. The funding draws $13.4 million from the Resilient SRQ initiative (federal disaster recovery funds following the 2024 storms) and $1.3 million from a local surtax. The project is expected to protect nearly $290 million in property value and provide 100-year flood protection for neighborhoods around Orange Avenue, Alta Vista Elementary and Osprey Avenue.
