Site work for a mixed-use development in Clearwater, Florida. Conceptual plans call for site work for a bridge / tunnel.

This project is for the design and construction of water quality and habitat improvements on and around Cooper's Point. Water quality improvements will be accomplished through increased tidal flushing in and around Cooper's Bayou, the construction of mangrove shelves, the addition of seagrasses and saltmarsh habitat, and the installation of sediment removal boxes. This project supports initiatives of the Tampa Bay Estuary Program's Nitrogen Management Consortium to reduce nutrients in Old Tampa Bay, as it aligns with Tampa Bay Reasonable Assurance. The project will also provide recreation opportunities through improved water craft access at Cooper's Bayou Park, kayak trails through mangrove tunnels, hiking trails, fishing platforms, and observation towers. Many aspects of the project will support the Greenprint strategy of greenspace expansion. Design funding is provided by the Stormwater Fund (Coastal Basin 18005). Construction funding is anticipated to include grants, including the Restore Act, partnerships with local, state, and federal organizations, the Stormwater Fund, and Penny funds.
