St. Pete Beach Could Get Money for Beach Repairs

Do you think St. Pete Beach is in need of beach restoration?

As Florida has set aside another $3.7 million to restore Pinellas Beaches, the city of St. Pete Beach is hoping to be included in that funding, according to a report by the Tampa Bay Times

According to the Times, $2 million has been earmarked for Treasure Island and the rest will be allocated where the Army Corps of Engineers decides. 

"A study of the county's beaches by USF researchers found that Treasure Island lost 93,500 cubic yards of sand following Tropical Storm Debby. Long Key, which includes both Pass-a-Grille and Upham beaches, lost a total of 113,400 cubic yards. Much of it came from Pass-a-Grille beach."
