State bills may curb funding for barrier islands
Henderson notes a debate over prohibiting state funds for barrier islands or simply discouraging use. The DCA rules aim to shape a statewide coastal policy and align agency rules with an executive order. If approved, barrier islands could be treated as undeveloped with no growth funding, while the DOT coordinates planning and other agencies must comply. The Northwest Florida Coast Resource Planning Committee will study where growth is appropriate, with a public meeting August 24 at Okalodsi Walton JC to discuss the Moreno Point tract and Four Mile Village.
