Proposed Causeway Report For Niceville Destin Feasibility
A feasibility study for a Choctawhatchee Bay causeway from Niceville to Destin is projected at 16 000 to 26 000 dollars. County Commissioner William Landreth said a Chamber of Commerce gathering was told the project ranks second in priority. The study aims to locate the causeway while the state plans contracts with consulting engineers. The narrowest bay section near White Point Destin appears most logical, with an estimated construction cost around 4 million dollars. If funded by a 25 year bond, annual interest would be about 200 000 dollars and the principal about 100 000 dollars, needing roughly 1 000 dollars daily in tolls.
