USA: Treasury award for Broadwater rebuild
The US Department of the Treasury has granted a $5 million ‘Restore’ award to Broadwater Marina in west Biloxi, Mississippi. The currently derelict marina was severely damaged in 2005 by Hurricane Katrina and suffered subsequent damage from the Deepwater Horizon oil spill and various named and unnamed storms.
[p1]The scope of the project, which will include bulkhead repair, dredging and breakwater improvements, aims to return the state-owned property to a safe, working condition for immediate public use and prepare it for future tourism and economic development.
Broadwater Marina is located within Public Trust Tidelands which the Mississippi Secretary of State’s Office manages and leases.
