Gov. Ron DeSantis June 12 cut funding for a Bradenton Beach project before signing the state’s $116.5 billion budget for the fiscal year that begins July 1.
The governor vetoed $625,000 in state appropriations for Bradenton Beach, city attorney Ricinda Perry confirmed on June 13.
The money was to be used to build out boat slips on the north side of the Historic Bridge Street Pier, 200 Bridge St., to create better boating access and a more cohesive docking arrangement for the Manatee County ferry service.
The governor vetoed almost $950 million in programs and projects, including two Anna Maria appropriations.
