Florida Pinellas县正花费1.25亿美元, 用于修复2024年飓风破坏的35英里海湾海岸的海滩, 在工兵团因地产所有者拒绝永久地役权而拒绝资助项目后, 利用旅游收入。
Pinellas County, Florida, is spending $125 million on beach restoration along 35 miles of Gulf Coast damaged by 2024 hurricanes, using tourism revenue after the Army Corps of Engineers declined to fund the project due to property owners refusing permanent easements.
