FLAGLER BEACH: COASTAL STORM RISK MANAGEMENT PROJECT
Amid a collaborative effort by county communicators, stakeholders, and community leaders, public sentiment* surrounding the project shifted from negative/neutral to neutral/advocate from June to September.
*Metrics noted include public comment, local media coverage, surveys, social media audience trends, and sentiment reporting.
The Coastal Storm Risk Management project wrapped ahead of schedule, just in time for Labor Day Weekend, and we posted the announcement on #NationalBeachDay (because kismet.) Keep an eye out for Easter eggs!
