Pier replacement to cost $860,000

Posted on May 24, 2017

It will cost more than $860,000 to reconstruct the pier at Keaton Beach’s Hodges Park, which was destroyed by Hurricane Hermine last year.

The county’s portion of the final bill, however, is expected to be around $107,000 after funding reimbursements from the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) and the Florida Division of Emergency Management.
