Public comment period for Okaloosa oil spill plan nears end

CRESTVIEW — RESTORE Direct Component Draft Multi-Year Implementation Plan documents are now on Okaloosa County's website.

The documents — describing projects to be funded with a first round of funding — are available at http://www.co.okaloosa.fl.us/restore/home for a public comment period through Feb. 1.

The plan draft meets U.S. Treasury requirements and includes all projects the Okaloosa Board of County Commissioners selected, according to a spokesperson.

The United States Congress enacted the Resources and Ecosystems Sustainability, Tourist Opportunities and Revived Economies, or RESTORE, Act in response to the Deepwater Horizon oil spill.
