$2.2 million nanobubble grant for Lake Virginia
Summary
The city won a prestigious $2.2 million grant to deploy a nanobubble system on Lake Virginia to fight harmful algae blooms. Permitting is cleared, launch is hoped for December, and a ribbon-cutting beach party at Dinky Dock is planned. The 12-month study must be decommissioned afterward unless the budget continues it.

Impact analysis
A $2.2 million one-time grant covers the 12-month study; keeping the system afterward would depend on future budget decisions.
Lake Virginia users and the broader chain of lakes community, since results could become a model for treating algae in shallow Florida lakes.
