Bings Landing could get a new dock, new bathrooms and new lighting, if a grant application for $74,108.75 to the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission is approved.
Through the organization’s Boating Improvement Program, which provides funding for boating-access projects on coastal and inland waters, the County Commission approved the application submittal for this grant at its July 16 meeting.
If the grant is approved, the county will replace the park’s existing floating wooden boat basin dock, demolish and replace its existing restroom facility and install 17 solar lights in the basin area and another five in the parking lot.
The total cost is projected at $213,800. Aside from the $74,000 grant, the county would pay for the rest of the project through vessel registrations fees, its general fund and other grants.
In the past, the county received a similar grant from this program, for improvements to Bull Creek Campground.
