Project Status and Funding Source

The City will release RFP documents in August 2026 to Design-Build teams to propose on the Central Resort District Phase 1 improvements. The City will select a Design-Build team in Q2 of 2027 to begin design.
This project is funded by CIPs 100062, 100061 and 100275.

The Central Resort District Master Project program area is over 600 acres, extending from Atlantic Avenue to the east, Birdneck Road to the west, Laskin Road to the north, and 17th Street to the south.

The Central Resort District Bundle includes three CIP projects, which will be evaluated together to study hydraulic impacts within Beach Garden Park, Old Beach Neighborhood, and Central Beach. These projects are looking at pump stations and culvert upgrades along Little Neck Creek drainage ditch between I-264 and Laskin Road, replacing under-sized and inadequate drainage within the program area, and storm tide and sea level rise mitigation at Laskin Road using tide gates.
