Gov. Ron DeSantis, who is allowed to line-item veto the budget, could still wipe out the funding. Last year, DeSantis vetoed the Ponte Vedra dune restoration along with many other local projects like the St. Augustine Lighthouse and the West Augustine sewage project. The budget goes into effect on July 1 and runs through June 30, 2022. Here are some highlights for St. Johns County: Infrastructure $300,000: West Augustine Septic-to-Sewer Program for West 3rd St., from HB 3411. Sponsored by State Rep. Cyndi Stevenson, the funding would go toward building a sanitary sewer system. The request was made by St. Augustine City Manager John Reagan. According to the request, the project is expected to "Improve groundwater and well quality and increase storm hardening by constructing a sanitary sewer system on W. 3rd Street between S. Volusia and Duval streets."
