Hurricane strength boardwalk improvements along Destin Harbor
Areas along the Destin harbor will be getting a structural facelift. Hurricane strength decking and boardwalk will be installed at Heron Harbor near the Destin Yacht Club on Harbor Boulevard.
The project will cost the city $477,847.95. Council members passed the motion to pay the bill with the consent agenda Monday, Aug. 15.
Okaloosa Co. Superintendent says life of school district is at stake
Crews will remove the 2×10 boarding and replace the decking with pressure-treated 2X10s with stainless steel hurricane clips and nails. 2X6 wear boards will be installed along the boardwalk as well with stainless steel screws.
Improvements made by Anderson/Gore homes will begin shortly. The city has already installed similar hardware and boardwalk pieces at beach parks and bay areas. A contract with Anderon/Gore for boardwalk repairs is dated from 2022 to 2025.
Funds for the improvement are made available with the Tourism Development Council tax 2022 budget.
