This item concerns a proposed resolution for the protection of shoreline birds at Norriego Point. The City of Destin is considering formal representation at a County meeting to discuss obtaining a lease and management of newly acquired state land at this location. This matter is currently under review by the City Council. The project would involve planning and potential implementation of protective measures for bird habitats, which could include site preparation, habitat restoration, and signage installation. Local contractors, suppliers, and service providers in areas such as environmental consulting, landscaping, and construction services may find opportunities to engage as plans develop. Early involvement before final permits and bids are issued could provide a competitive advantage.
