Venice to redo beach erosion plan amid county objections
Venice City Council approved revising the shoreline protection project south of the Venice Fishing Pier after Sarasota County engineers objected to offshore rubble mounds. Ed Redington reported $37,000 spent with 75 percent funding promised from the DNR, and a shift toward onshore revetment to defend the wastewater plant while acknowledging long term erosion remains. Mayor Proctor initially sought county approval before payment but dropped the idea.
