Overview: The Jacksonville Beach City Council meeting focused on the acceptance of a $1.6 million grant from the Department of Energy, which will facilitate storm hardening improvements between Second Avenue North and 12th Avenue North. The grant covers approximately 65% of the total project cost of $2.45 million, with the remaining $850,000 funded by Beaches Energy. This effort to enhance the reliability and resilience of the electric infrastructure aligns with the long-term capital improvement plan to underground electric facilities, which has been ongoing for three decades.
