The state hasn't funded the Higbee beach Tide gate project and that has all the engineering studies and permits, nor will the state fund this Cox Hall Creek project. The money won't be allocated until the states budget crisis eases years from now. The Lwr. MUA has not been involved and hasn't allocated or planned for any public water to the area that might result in saltwater intrusion to private wells.
Why is this project even moving forward without any hopes of funding into the foreseeable future?...To use up any money already allocated to "the Cox Hall Creek study" with designing plans that are not going to be funded and implemented?
