Sewer Upgrades in Florida Keys Need More Funding

摘要

Despite Florida Gov. Charlie Crist's (I) authorization this month of as much as $200 million for a long-term effort to provide upgraded sewer systems for the Florida Keys, the prospects are poor for funding in total the estimated $937-million project.rnThe governor's action-which also extended the project deadline to 2015 from July 2010-does not provide a timeline for delivery of the Everglades Restoration bonds; it only authorizes the Florida Legislature to initiate the $200 million in bonding sometime in the future.
