19. THE BOARD TO APPROVE AMENDMENT 1 TO FDEM GRANT AGREEMENT

Board of Commissioners Meeting · 2026-06-16 · agenda_item

Taylor County is planning a significant infrastructure project involving the dredging of canals at Keaton Beach and the Steinhatchee Boat Ramp Basin. This project also includes the design, engineering, permitting, and dredging of canals at Dekle Beach, Dark Island, and Cedar Island. The project is currently under review as an amendment to a grant agreement. This initiative will likely involve several phases, starting with design and engineering, followed by permitting, and then the physical dredging work. Local contractors, suppliers, and service providers in areas such as heavy construction, marine services, engineering, and environmental permitting could find opportunities. Engaging early in the process, before final plans and bids are set, may offer a competitive advantage.
