PRESENTATION - REPRESENTATIVE CHRISTINE HUNSCHOFSKY AND SENATOR TINA POLSKY - STATE FUNDING CHECK PRESENTATION FOR MARGATE STORMWATER INFRASTRUCTURE REHABILITATION, CANAL EMBANKMENT RESTORATION, AND DREDGING FUNDING IN THE AMOUNT OF $600,000.
BACKGROUND: The City of Margate has been approved for a State appropriation of $600,000 for stormwater infrastructure rehabilitation, canal embankment restoration, and dredging. Citywide stormwater infrastructure and canal shoreline restoration and rehabilitation and dredging will increase stormwater delivery capacity and reduce canal embankment failure due to erosion and potential settlement. Restoration of stormwater infrastructure and canals, earthen embankments and envisioned improvements to their resiliency is necessary to protect the community, property and the environment, while preserving drainage basins and the canal systems as intended.
