STONE HARBOR – Stone Harbor Borough Council Oct. 15 heard capital budget projections for almost $6 million over five years for beach replenishment, back bay dredging, and flood mitigation efforts.

The draft budget presented calls for growing the annual allocation to such a fund to $1.3 million a year by 2022.
