Beach Renourishment Project at Edisto

From The Charleston Post & Courier, February 27, 2006

The beach renourishment project is going to be great for Edisto Beach. I can't wait to see the results. Here are a few excerpts from the article:

The $7.7 million renourishment project, dredging sand from offshore, is scheduled to start mid-March and take two months.

"The public will be able to tell a difference. The beach is going to be wider," said Marion Edmonds, South Carolina Parks spokesman.

The dredging will run from that north edge of the state park to the last groin on the island's Saint Helena Sound southern flank. It's being paid for by $4.75 million in state money and a little more than $3 million in town and Colleton County money. It has a projected lifespan of 10 years.
