Fort Pierce beach erosion fix holding strong ahead of $15 million renourishment project this month

Nearly a month after Fort Pierce declared a local state of emergency over significant beach erosion, officials say an emergency sand dump is holding up well ahead of a $15 million renourishment project later this month.

St. Lucie County has dumped more than 10,000 cubic yards of sand along the shoreline at a cost of nearly half a million dollars to protect the beach while the larger project gets underway.
