St. Augustine is set to enhance its waterfront and infrastructure as the city commission moves forward with key construction projects. During the recent special city commission meeting on May 12, 2025, officials announced that the design phase for the seawall project south of the marina is complete, and the city is now entering the solicitation phase for construction. This project aims to bolster the city's resilience against storm surges and rising sea levels.

Additionally, the Corte Ophelia neighborhood is nearing the completion of its design phase, with construction expected to begin later this summer. This initiative focuses on stormwater and utility improvements, which are crucial for managing water runoff and ensuring reliable utility services for residents.

Another significant project discussed is the Alcazar waterproofing, which is part of a broader facilities capital improvement plan. This project aims to protect the historic Alcazar building from water damage, preserving its integrity for future generations.

These developments reflect St. Augustine's commitment to improving infrastructure and safeguarding its historic sites, ensuring a sustainable and resilient future for the community. As these projects progress, residents can look forward to enhanced safety and improved living conditions in their neighborhoods.
