Loxahatchee River Restoration Project Meeting

The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers is about to hold a Project Delivery Team (PDT) meeting for the Loxahatchee River Watershed Restoration Project.

The meeting will take place on Wednesday, May 31, from 9 a.m. – 3 p.m. at the Elsa Kimbell Environmental Education and Research Center in Hobe Sound.

According to the Corps, the Loxahatchee River Watershed Restoration Project aims to restore and sustain the overall quantity, quality, timing, and distribution of freshwater to the federally designated “National Wild and Scenic” Northwest Fork of the Loxahatchee River for current and future generations.

The project also seeks to restore, sustain, and reconnect the area’s wetlands and watersheds that form the historic headwaters for the river.

PDT meetings enable federal, state and local agencies and tribal governments to provide their input into the Loxahatchee River Watershed Restoration Project. Members of the public may attend the PDT meeting and provide public comment at the end of the meeting.
