Explanation
(This amendment provides a grant of $200,000 the first year from the general fund to Mathews County to support the immediate stabilization of the island surrounding the New Point Lighthouse and to provide for a portion of the county's costs of completing a feasibility study being performed by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers to determine a long-term restoration plan for the island. The New Point Lighthouse was originally built in 1805 and is the third oldest lighthouse on the Chesapeake Bay.)
