| Project Description: |
| The Cities of Titusville, Cape Canaveral, Cocoa, Cocoa Beach, Melbourne, Palm Bay, Rockledge, West Melbourne, and Brevard County are evaluating construction of a Regional Space Coast sludge residual drying system.

This request would help to support aspects of the non-construction and construction phases of the project. |
