The Corps will once again cover 65% of costs — a major win after forcing homeowners into permanent easements with public access requirements. Thanks to Florida’s “customary use” laws, the Corps now treats beaches as public facilities, allowing temporary easements instead — no more permanent property rights giveaways. The agreement saves the county hundreds of millions over two decades, boosts a $11 billion tourism economy, and clears the way for future projects. Pressure from local reps and even the White House helped seal the deal — now, the real work begins. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
