Naples beach stormwater project running about a month ahead of schedule
The city of Naples expects its $86.2 million beach stormwater outfall project to wrap up by May 2027, roughly a month before the June 2027 contract deadline, WINK reports. The work adds two pump stations, underground drainage and offshore pipes so eight aging discharge pipes can come off the beach, raising protection from a 5-year to a 25-year storm for about 266 acres west of U.S. 41. Construction started in October 2024.
