This study’s purpose is to address critical-infrastructure and evacuation-route protection, along with structural-damage reduction, in response to coastal storm risks and effects and associated impacts such as sea-level rise, storm surge, and extreme wind and tidal effects. The study’s three-year timeline started in October 2018 and will terminate with a Chief’s Report in September 2021.
Supplemental funding allows the Corps of Engineers to complete the feasibility study, which is evaluating measures for coastal storm risk management, sea-level rise and chronic flooding issues for Monroe County.
Federal funding for this study is $3 million.
