Humboldt County may shift Centerville Road inland instead of repairing storm damage
What happened
The California Coastal Commission approved a permit allowing Humboldt County to repair storm damage along Centerville Road. However, the Humboldt County Board of Supervisors may now consider shifting the road inland rather than proceeding with the repair at the existing location, which the county estimated would cost over $4.8 million. The permit included 16 special conditions, one of which prohibited vehicle access to Centerville Beach.

Why it matters
The decision involves a significant change in public infrastructure planning and potential public spending. If the road is relocated, the cost for the project could be comparable to or less than the original storm damage repair estimate, impacting local financial planning.
