RESTORE Act Multi-Year Implementation Plan Timeline
- On Friday, Dec. 20, Escambia County released its RESTORE Act Draft Multi-Year Implementation Plan Amendment 1 for a 45-day public comment period beginning through Thursday, Feb. 6.
- In July 2019, the Board of County Commissioners directed staff to begin developing Amendment 1 to the MYIP. Escambia County’s MYIP Amendment 1 includes revisions to three projects included in the Initial MYIP approved in October 2017 and eight new projects. The projects and associated budgets are highlighted below.
- On Sept. 7, 2017, the Escambia County Board of County Commissioners approved the 2016-17 Escambia County RESTORE Direct Component (Pot 1) Multi-Year Implementation Plan and authorized staff to submit the MYIP to the U.S. Department of Treasury for approval after conducting the required 45-day public comment period per RESTORE Act requirements. The U.S. Department of Treasury approved the MYIP on October 20, 2017, finding the MYIP to be complete and conforming to the RESTORE Act regulations. The 2016-17 MYIP includes 10 projects selected by the Escambia County Board of County Commissioners.
On April 20, 2010, the Deepwater Horizon, an oil rig drilling in the Gulf of Mexico, exploded causing the largest offshore oil spill in the United States. The Resources and Ecosystems Sustainability, Tourist Opportunities and Revived Economies, or RESTORE Act, established the Gulf Coast Restoration Trust Fund to receive penalty dollars collected from responsible parties associated with the spill.
