Summary Explanation and Background:
In June 2010, Brevard County formally acquired the working waterfront parcel known as Griffis Landing. Included in the County’s acquisition of this working waterfront site was the right to the existing Sovereignty Submerged Lands Lease. The existing Submerged Lands Lease was formally renewed by the Board and executed at the regular meeting on April 19, 2016. The amenities encompassed by the site’s existing Submerged Lands Lease include the waterfront docks, finger piers, boat ramp, twelve slips, a boat pump-out facility, and a pending fueling station.
Execution of the attached Sovereignty Submerged Lands Lease Renewal will guarantee the County’s continued interest along the site’s waterfront, ensuring the continued legal use of the submerged lands and its directly adjacent uplands by the on-site businesses and secure the County’s options for future waterside improvements.
