Mayor: Sector 4 of town shoreline designated "critically eroded" after decade‑long effort
Summary
Mayor Foley announced that Sector 4 of the town’s beaches has been officially designated as critically eroded, a status the mayor said should open access to repair and preservation resources; town staff and outside counsel credited for the work.
Mayor Foley told the council that Sector 4 of the town’s shoreline has been officially designated as critically eroded after about a decade of work by council members, staff and outside counsel. The mayor said the designation gives the town access to resources to both repair and improve the shoreline and credited Town Manager Jim Harpring, outside counsel Holland & Knight and local representatives for assistance.
Council members publicly praised Harpring and the legal team; one council member noted the difficulty of obtaining the regulatory designation and thanked the town manager and Holland & Knight for “getting the ball across the goal line.” The mayor emphasized the designation followed persistent staff and council effort and congratulated those involved.
The announcement was delivered as part of the mayor’s report; no formal vote or ordinance was recorded in the transcript for this designation during the meeting.
