Holmes Beach will get some canals and channels deepened in the next round of budgeted dredging projects.
The Holmes Beach City Commissioners approved funding $270,000 in their last meeting for about a dozen locations to be dredged, under a multi-year State permit.
The project is set to begin at the end of the month. the contractor is Milmac Corp of Coral Springs, Fla.
Prior dredging projects have drawn the ire of residents when the sand spoil was stored near their homes.
In this project the contractor will be removing spoil as they progress.
