The entire Front Street and Front Street Buildings were razed as a result of the half mile wide excavation. Today, new buildings, homes, businesses, modern walkways and sea motif walls and benches take their place. A Sea Life Center welcomes visitors to explore the local ocean inhabitants up close.

Yes. I was wrong about the transport of the contaminated soil.
Avila Beach cost maybe 200 million at the high end. It doesn't appear the actual amount is available on the Net.
