Virginia Beach Sand Replenishment Project

The city cleared a major hurdle to a sand replenishment project along the Chesapeake Bay on Friday.  A Circuit Court judge ruled that Virginia Beach can condemn a portion of beachfront property and take the land for public recreation and sand replenishment. Beach officials and four Cape Henry property owners and condominium associations have been locked in a dispute over the land for several years. The city needed the recreational and construction easements over the property so that the Army Corps of Engineers could pump sand from a dredging project onto the beach from the Lesner Bridge to First Landing State Park.  Click here to read the full story from the Virginian-Pilot.
