Florida lawmakers are set to provide a $10 million appropriation for a new boathouse project at Nathan Benderson Park that will double as a regional storm shelter.
State legislators are considering a $10 million funding request for a proposed boathouse at Nathan Benderson Park, rebranding the facility as a regional storm shelter and emergency recovery hub to gain state support. The appropriations request was sponsored by state Sen. Joe Gruters and state Rep. Fiona McFarland.
The project aims to enhance local emergency infrastructure while supporting the park's existing recreational operations. By positioning the structure as a dual-purpose emergency asset, project backers hope to secure the necessary public funding to move the long-discussed development toward completion.
