City of Mexico Beach

The City of Mexico Beach has entered into a grant agreement with the Florida Department of Environmental Protection under solicitation number CZ916 for the construction and installation of one ADA compliant dune walkover. This project is designed to improve public beach access and is part of the Coastal Partnership Initiative. The total funding for the project is 120,000 dollars, which is split equally between 60,000 dollars in grant funding and a 60,000 dollar match provided by the grantee. The project incorporates federal funding from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration under FAIN NA261N0SX491C0024. While the agreement was signed in October 2026, the official start date for the work is scheduled for December 31, 2027. This award follows an evaluation process of multiple Coastal Partnership Initiative applications to determine project rankings and funding eligibility based on federal availability.
