The Florida Gulf Counties Consortium will hold a public
review meeting on the draft State Expenditure Plan at 6:30 pm CT on
January 22, 2018, in the Bay County Commission Chambers. The
Plan outlines how Florida’s RESTORE Act Spill Impact Component funds
will be spent. The funds are from Deepwater Horizon disaster Clean Water
Act fines.
Florida’s allocation is $294 million, paid over a
15-year period. Approximately $12 million will be spent on projects in
each of Florida’s 23 coastal counties. Another public review meeting will be in Tampa on January
23. Two public review webinars will also be held on Feb. 1 and 15. The comment period ends March 2, 2018. Additional information and a link to a comment form is at https://www.gulfconsortium.org/draft-state-expenditure-plan
