Dredging Broad Creek has a price tag of $2.75 million

Walker: Cost ‘not sustainable’ in Middlesex County budget

The Middlesex County Board of Supervisors experienced sticker shock on Tuesday, Dec. 3, when County Administrator Matt Walker announced to the board that the Broad Creek dredging project in Deltaville will cost $2.75 million.

For more than a year, supervisors have been working with the Middle Peninsula Regional Planning District Commission and others to make the project happen. Virginia Marine Resources Commission approved the county’s dredge permits in October 2024.
