The project to bring in 14,000 tons of sand to a Massachusetts town was completed just three days before a powerful storm.
A Massachusetts beach community is scrambling after a weekend storm washed away mountains of sand trucked in for a nearly $600,000 dune that was meant to protect homes, roads and other infrastructure.
It's the latest round of severe storms in the community and across Massachusetts, which already suffered flooding, erosion and infrastructure damage in January. State Sen. Bruce Tarr, who is working to secure $1.5 million in state funding to shore up the Salisbury dunes, says the efforts will protect a major roadway, water and sewer infrastructure as well as hundreds of homes — which make up 40% of Salisbury's tax base.
