The Southport Selectboard invites residents, property owners, and interested members of the public to attend a status update meeting on the Hendricks Head Restoration Project on Wednesday, April 15, 5:30-6:30 p.m., at the Southport Town Office.

The Hendricks Head Restoration Project is a municipal infrastructure and coastal resilience initiative focused on the restoration of the road crossing and culvert at Hendricks Head Beach. The project aims to improve tidal exchange, address longstanding infrastructure concerns, and enhance the resilience of the roadway and surrounding coastal environment. The project is being managed by Sunrise Ecologic and developed with support from engineering consultants and in coordination with state and local regulatory requirements.

At the April 15 meeting, the Selectboard and project representatives will present the current status of project design and permitting and address questions raised by residents and abutting property owners during the design review process. The project manager will be available to walk through the plans and designs and to answer questions.

The Selectboard will also announce the appointment of a community liaison to coordinate ongoing communication between the project team, abutting property owners, and the Selectboard as the project advances through permitting and construction.

The town of Southport is committed to transparency and meaningful community involvement as the project advances. The goal of the Hendricks Head Restoration Program has always been to improve the hazard resilience and environmental sustainability of a much loved public resource. The Selectboard encourages all interested parties to attend and participate in the discussion.
