Trucks filled with sand from Stewart Mining Facility in Immokalee are headed to Fort Myers Beach as part of a plan to help the beach repair and rebuild following Hurricane Ian, adding elevation to areas impacted by the storm. It will protect homes from storm surges and also provide homes for wildlife on the island, WINK News reports.
