Phase I - Shoreline Stabilization Project

Phase I - Shoreline Stabilization 

Project Overview

In December of 2022, the Village engaged Woodhouse Tinucci Architects to manage the programming and schematic design phase for the Beach Improvement Project. The project’s intent is to protect the shoreline and design an adaptive reuse of the water treatment plant that would enhance the resident experience at the public beach. The project consists of two primary categories - 1) shoreline protection, and 2) water plant and surrounds. 

As part of Phase I, large armor stones were added on both sides of the north steel sheet piling groin to strengthen it. The south groin also needed more protection, so stone was added there as well. Additionally, sand deposits took place over the course of this work which replenished the beach for the coming season. This work wrapped up in May 2025 and is an important step toward protecting the beach from erosion and storm damage, and sets the stage for future improvements.
