Beach and ThirdCleanup continues at a gas station on the corner of Beach Boulevard and 3rd Street (A1A) in Jacksonville Beach. Workers began replacing underground tanks and equipment with new corrosion resistant equipment that’s required to be installed by the end of next year. (Click for larger image)
