Long Range Positive Effects of the Delray Beach Nourishment Program
The Delray beach maintenance program generates approximately $10.2 million annually in storm damage reduction benefits and recreational benefits to the City of Delray Beach and the adjacent towns of Highland Beach and Gulfstream. A common economic decision making principle is the ratio of annual benefits to annual costs. For this project, the benefit to cost ratio is 10.4. This excludes the increase in annual tax revenues due to the effect of the beach on property values. The maintenance program has a positive effect on a total of 11.3 km of shoreline as a result of filling about 4.3 km on a periodic basis.
