Humboldt County Supervisors to Review Centerville Road Repairs and Tourism Funding Tuesday
The Humboldt County Board of Supervisors will consider abandoning storm-damage repairs at Centerville Beach in favor of an inland road retreat strategy. The current repair plan, approved by the California Coastal Commission, would cost $4.8 million but requires future removal of improvements due to severe coastal erosion. Staff recommend rejecting the permit conditions and pursuing a long-term reroute, though this approach faces uncertainty regarding private landowner cooperation and funding. Additionally, the board will review proposed cuts to transient occupancy tax funding for nine local chambers of commerce and arts organizations.
