Clemens to continue fight for beach and lagoon projects | www.palmbeachdailynews.com

State Senator Jeff Clemens in Palm Beach talking about the economic importance of beach renourishment. Click title for link to article.
"Association Chairman Lew Crampton introduced Clemens as “a friend, not only to our organization, but to the entire town. It was Jeff’s intercession, at some of the highest levels of state policy at the DEP [Department of Environmental Protection], that led to the work that resulted in the beach management agreement which has made it a lot easier for this town to get certain beach projects permitted. And it’s saving us a lot of money and making things a lot better for us.”
The beach management agreement, signed in September, is a first-of-its-kind approach to regional beach management and is expected to significantly reduce costs, time and uncertainty in the permitting process for beach and inlet projects. The project covers a 15-mile stretch of beach from the Lake Worth Inlet to the Boynton Inlet."
