New restrooms are slated to open at the busy boat launch at Little Jim Bridge in the next couple of weeks — as soon as the county receives approval from the state Department of Environmental Protection.
The $36,000 design, engineering and permitting phase of the restroom project was paid for with a pair of $18,000 grants from the Florida Inland Navigation District and the Florida Boating Improvement Program.
The precast concrete bathrooms, which include a men's room, women's room and family bathroom, cost $150,000. The Florida Inland Navigation District and St. Lucie County each paid $75,000.
Update: (06/15/2011)
The St. Lucie County Board of County recently completed the installation of a new restroom facility at the Stan Blum Boat Ramp on North Hutchinson Island.
