The partial closure of Segment 2 <br />(approximately 25 acres in size) includes closure of <br />the Segment 1 infill vertical expansion area and final <br />elevations of Segment 2. The current Segment 3, <br />Cell 1 is approximately 50% full; therefore, the new <br />Segment 3, Cell 2 was constructed to handle future <br />capacity of the landfill from Indian River County <br />residents as required by the Florida Department of <br />Environmental Protection. <br />1200 37th Street Right -of -Way: This $1.6 million <br />2.2 acre parcel will be utilized for right-of-way and <br />stormwater treatment purposes for the future <br />extension of 11th Drive from 37th Street to 41st <br />Street. <br />Vero Lake Estates Paving from 101st Avenue to <br />96th Avenue: Construction of the paved roadway <br />was completed at a cost of $0.7 million. <br />Old Dixie Highway and Highland Drive <br />Intersection Improvements: The $0.4 million <br />project included milling and resurfacing, striping, <br />overhead signal beacon system design, roadside <br />swale grading, culverts, drainage, sidewalk, and <br />pedestrian ramp upgrades within the County right-of- <br />way. <br />Sector 5 Beach Restoration: The $6.6 million <br />Sector 5 project placed approximately 123,800 cubic <br />yards of beach compatible sand within the project <br />area. The 3.1 mile section of shoreline sustained <br />damages from Hurricane Matthew (2016), Hurricane <br />Irma (2017), and Hurricane Dorian (2019). <br />Premier Citrus Property: The 243.5 acre parcel <br />located east of Interstate 95 was purchased due to <br />increased growth within the County. The $6.0 million <br />parcel will assist with the need for additional sites to <br />dispose of reclaimed water, as well as the possibility <br />of creating a western corridor park and projects <br />affiliated with the Indian River Lagoon Initiative. <br />'sigma de� <br />.� <br />-66 <br />Indian River County Beach <br />Photo courtesy of the Clerk's Office 7 <br />
