The Economic Development Administration awarded $275,800 under the Investments for Public Works and Economic Development Facilities program (CFDA 11.300) on August 9, 2021 to the Town of Seabrook, New Hampshire. The Project Grant funding will support repairs to critical port infrastructure serving the town's commercial fishing and hospitality industries as well as a nearby nuclear power station. Specifically, the award will finance replacement of approximately 550 linear feet of failing steel sheet pile and timber fendering on an existing bulkhead. It will also fund re-grading and paving of land behind the failing seawall. An amendment added repairs to a compromised south bulkhead wall, additional permitting costs, and restrictions limiting construction to the winter months of November 15 through March 15 to accommodate wildlife regulations. The award aims to save approximately 200 jobs in Seabrook by maintaining vital infrastructure for local industries.
