What happened
Thompson Engineering completed a comprehensive stormwater master plan for Bear Point in Orange Beach. The plan identifies potential drainage improvements valued at nearly $16.7 million, addressing issues including clogged infrastructure, low-lying homes, and tidal conditions. The study was funded in part by the Gulf Coast Ecosystem Restoration Council under the RESTORE Act.

Why it matters
The plan provides officials with a pathway to address long-standing drainage issues in the community. The successful application of the RESTORE Act funding mechanism validates the Council's mandate for ecosystem restoration projects in the Gulf Coast region.
The project is part of a larger effort to secure funding for ecosystem restoration in Gulf Coast states.
