Project Description: |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
||
The LaGrange Bayou/Four Mile Creek waterway near the City of Freeport is vital to the economy of Walton County. The waterway is in dire need of dredging if it is to continue to serve the water based industries located along its shores. A lack of adequate spoil sites is hindering the Army Corps of Engineers from proceeding with the dredging of the facility. This project would provide for the needed dredging of the waterway and a public barge port on the Intracoastal Waterway to serve the Walton, Okaloosa, Bay, Holmes and Washington Counties area. Requested funds would allow Walton County to purchase approximately 175 acres of land at two sites along the LaGrange Bayou/Four Mile Creek waterway. 125 acres of the land would be used for dedicated spoil sites for the dredged material. 50 acres of waterfront land would be used for the port facility. |
