The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers' Jacksonville District will begin dredging at Palm Beach Harbor for the Mid-Town Segment beach renourishment project in Palm Beach, Florida. This project uses material from the harbor's entrance channel under a Coastal Storm Risk Management initiative, rather than a traditional maintenance event.

Great Lakes Dredge and Dock was awarded a $20 million contract. Approximately 100,000 to 150,000 cubic yards of sand will be removed, with additional material sourced from offshore areas. Dredging will take about 30 days and must be completed by April 30 to avoid impacts on sea turtle nesting.
