Shoreline Improvement Work Begins
The shoreline improvement project includes a new boat ramp, a new pier with a wave screen for erosion protection, a pier for launching rowing shells, additional beach sand and stone groin, and establishment of living shoreline areas. During construction, there will be restrictions on parking in the boat yard and access to the construction area. Project completion is estimated for late September.
