Census Bureau Announces Operations To Continue Through Oct. 31.

It's not a trick. It's a treat! There's now a lot more time to complete your 2020 Census. The U.S. Census Bureau recently announced that census operations will continue through the original date of October 31, 2020. Read the statement atbit.ly/2SwKxJC.

Census takers will still be visiting households that haven't completed their census. They may also visit your house if you did complete it as a quality check. Learn more about census taker visits and why they may still visit your home even if you’ve responded at bit.ly/2R8U09i or on the City’s website at bit.ly/3j5covo.

Broward County Segment II and Sand Bypass Informational Webinar - Friday, October 30 at 11 AM

by Broward County Environmental Planning and Community Resilience Division

Learn more about the upcoming beach construction project planned for Pompano, Lauderdale-By-The-Sea, and Fort Lauderdale.

About this Event

Segment II

The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers plans to start construction of a post-Hurricane Irma repair project in Pompano Beach, Lauderdale-By-The-Sea, and Fort Lauderdale. The project is estimated to place approximately 387,800 cubic yards of upland sand along the shoreline, with 100% cost share by the federal government. Temporary beach construction access point closures will be necessary and public access will be restricted on the beach area directly under construction; however, all efforts will be made to accommodate beach access to residents and guests, while assuring safe construction operations.

Port Everglades Sand Bypass

Staff has finalized the mitigation plan for the Port Everglades Sand Bypass project and received the final federal permit. Procurement is anticipated to begin in October. Public outreach will begin by February 2021. Construction is anticipated to begin in June 2021. The Army Corps of Engineers will award the contract for the south jetty rehabilitation in late August.
