FISCAL IMPACT: The Local Government Funding Requests are prepared yearly for anticipated state cost share
funding reimbursement. The requests are estimates based on project scope, funding availability, ranking and other state
and federal funding. Projections for future years are also included in the requests for informational purposes. FDEP
determines the final cost share ratio at the time of award and generally will cost share up to 50% for beach projects and
up to 75% for inlet projects of the non-Federal project cost.
The total FY 2025-2026 estimated total costs ($4,397,500) include:
