What happened
The Bethany Beach Landowners Association is urging the Bethany Beach mayor and town council to prioritize a floodgate project. McCormick-Taylor, the Town’s contractor, developed a structural solution consisting of a 3-foot-high, 60-foot-long flap dam and a flap gate. This project is valued at $3 million and is projected to ameliorate over 90 percent of the nuisance flooding.
