“It’s amazing to see what it is today. When you came out here after Hurricane Helene, there were piles of sand lining the road,” Jacob Beisel, the public information officer for the city of Treasure Island, said. “After a lot of back and forth, the city came and decided to take another look at it and found the foundation was still secure.”<\/p>
