Marina project advances as primary steel arrives; storage building and dock grants total $1.53M
Summary
Marina operations staff reported vertical construction will begin after primary steel deliveries; two separate grant awards total about $1.534 million to support the south complex dock and building projects. Proctor construction remains on schedule for late January building completion, though the forklifts necessary for full operation are delayed.
Marina staff briefed the council that recent deliveries of primary steel have allowed the south‑complex construction to proceed to vertical erection and that additional grant support has pushed total grant funding for the south complex to about $1,534,000.
Sean, marina program manager, said two steel shipments arrived yesterday and erection work was expected to begin quickly so the building can go vertical in roughly four to six weeks. He said the floating docks and new seawall performed as designed during recent high tides and the new dock and seawall provided improved clearance. Sean reported the project’s planned completion target remains in late January for building shell work; racks and interior systems will follow.
Staff cautioned that an expected arrival of a new forklift remains delayed and could push some boat moves into early 2026. Sean said the forklift shipment — coming from Wisconsin — is eyed for early–mid March, so marina staff will phase boat placements to accommodate ramping operations without full forklift capability.
Staff also noted recent grant awards for the marina and south complex projects total about $1,534,000 (composed of multiple grants for the dock and building elements approved by council and staff). Council and staff praised the contractor’s performance on the seawall and dock repairs following earlier storm damage.
Why it matters: The marina complex produces operational revenue and supports local boating and tourism. Construction schedule and equipment delivery affect when slips become available for customers and when the operation reaches full revenue capacity.
Sources in the presentation included marina manager Sean and contractor Proctor, and staff confirmed the grant package that supports the project.
