Steube Addresses Manasota Key Erosion in Meeting with Army Corps of Engineers\n\nCharlotte County, FL \u2013 U.S. Representative Greg Steube (R-FL) yesterday joined Charlotte County leaders in a meeting and site visit with the Army Corps of Engineers and Colonel James L. Booth to discuss rehabilitation solutions for Manasota Key\u2019s deteriorating shoreline.\n\n\u201cIn recent years, Charlotte County has sustained significant shoreline erosion and other damage from various weather events,\u201d Steube said.\u201dOn Dec 1, 2021, I sent a letter to the Corps expressing my concern for these worsening conditions and have requested the inclusion of the study and construction of a shoreline rehabilitation project currently being considered by the Army Corps.\u201d\n\nThe federal project will help protect critical infrastructure, including homes, condos, and hurricane evacuation routes. Charlotte County has declared several emergencies since 2014 due to the impact of the erosion on homes and infrastructure. The erosion, in some cases, has destabilized homes and condominium buildings to the point where they are no longer safe to enter.\n\nThe beaches within the project area begin in Sarasota County, and the project extends for over 4.4 miles across the Sarasota County/Charlotte County line south to Stump Pass Beach State Park.\n\nFlorida\u2019s 17th Congressional District\u2019s land area is over 6,300 square miles and is home to portions of Florida\u2019s Gulf Coast, including shoreline in Sarasota and Charlotte County.\n\nTo view Congressman Steube\u2019s December 1 letter to the Army Corps, click here.\n\n###", 1, "2026-03-30T01:40:41Z", "2026-04-06T20:37:48Z"]], "columns": ["url", "title", "date", "year", "month", "party", "chamber", "state", "member_name", "bioguide_id", "domain", "scraper", "source", "date_source", "text", "has_text", "collected_at", "updated_at"], "primary_keys": ["url"], "primary_key_values": ["https://steube.house.gov/press-releases/rep-steube-addresses-manasota-key-erosion-in-meeting-with-army-corps-of-engineers/"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 1.9014920108020306, "source": "dwillis/congress-press", "source_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press", "license": "MIT", "license_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press/blob/main/LICENSE"}
