Senator Carper Announces an Additional $10 million in Federal Funding for Bay Beach Restoration and Improvement

The funding, secured by Sen. Carper through Congressionally Directed Spending, will support the restoration of 29 miles of beaches and the development of storm protection systems, including dunes, aimed at safeguarding the communities along the bay. These dune structures safeguard our precious habitat and the inland farmland.

The Town of Slaughter Beach thanks Senator Carper and his staff for their constant vigilance and support of our Bay Beaches and especially Slaughter Beach.
