WE will be having scheduling public forum/meetings soon--and hopefully some guest speakers. Had a successful meeting this morning and we have moved on a few things that will be more thoroughly discussed here in this media soon.
It is again, sadly, baby steps unless someone with a couple hundred million wants to donate $50m to get the pass funded and opened. All we would need is permits then--may or may not happen, but we deal with the real world.

We have to provide studies and a concept plan for the County to look at, evaluate, then they either vote up or down---if up, then they hire additional consultants---and determine costs and benefit. This is when we will need you--when those who are in office, to push for them to vote yes and fund it thru County Coffers---our monies.

We are asking for donations to start coming now. We have some funds, but the protracted battle and studies will be costing quite a bit until we get the County on board.

This is really important--anything you can afford. We are doing Paypal for now, they have a special rate for non profits. We may eventually have to do a GoFundMe, because just one study is 25k and we have engaged that Coastal Engineer.
Donate if you can--please. All of us are working as volunteers---if you can / will assist in getting us more/better funded, please feel free to reach out. We are now a 501c3 and can accept donations.
