Tiburon eyes $1.4M grant for shoreline project

Tiburon is closing in on a $1.4 million state grant to fund the final phase of a beach restoration project.

The Town Council unanimously voted on Wednesday to apply for the funding from the California Coastal Commission. The funds are expected to be awarded this winter and would cover the remaining costs of restoring Greenwood Beach and Brunini Beach at Blackie’s Pasture.

The restoration plan includes creating a “living” shoreline instead of a rock wall to protect against erosion.
