Board of County Commissioners Regular Meeting · 2026-04-14 · agenda_item

Citrus County, through its Community Services, Parks & Recreation department, is requesting to withdraw its application for the Fort Island Gulf Beach Trailhead project from the Recreational Trails Program. This project was intended for expansion, including additional boat trailer parking and standard parking spaces. The project faced limitations due to a required National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) study, which impacted available space and increased costs. The county plans to withdraw from the grant and repurpose the Parks Impact fees to a more suitable project. This item is currently under review by the Board of County Commissioners. The withdrawal means no grant funds were used, but expenses for the NEPA study and an engineering cost price analysis have been incurred. While this specific project is being withdrawn, the NEPA study remains valid for future use. Local contractors, suppliers, and service providers in site preparation, engineering, and environmental services may find opportunities if the county decides to pursue future projects at this site or elsewhere.
