PINELLAS COUNTY, Fla. â A project to renourish nine miles of Pinellas Countyâs beachfront coastline is at risk of being skipped unless 240 more property owners sign a required easement.
If the project is skipped by the Army Corp of Engineers, it could mean the Sand Key area in Pinellas County wonât get any new sand for years.
The $45 million project to widen the 9-mile stretch of sand between Clearwater and Redington Beach is supposed to take place in 2024. While some areas like Clearwater and North Redington Beach have signed off on the project, many homeowners in other areas like Indian Rocks Beach, Indian Shores and Redington Shores have not.
