EDC says county appointee could move Deepwater Marina project forward; Zoom meeting scheduled
Summary
Board member Gail reported renewed county interest in the Deepwater Marina project after Ramiro Aleman was named the county's EDC director and a multi-party Zoom meeting was scheduled to discuss grant and next steps.
Board member Gail reported that she met with Ramiro Aleman, the county's newly appointed EDC director, and described the meeting as encouraging for the Deepwater Marina project.
Gail said the county does not yet have an independent board for the project but has assigned EDC responsibilities to a county department and that Aleman's appointment indicates renewed attention. She said she invited Darla and Lisa Graves to participate on behalf of the city and that Lisa Graves, who also serves on the City Council and operates a business at Sea Ranch, will provide periodic updates to city council.
Gail said she had scheduled a Zoom meeting with Romero, Greg Weicamp and Edgewater Resources that would include Darla and Lisa to ensure the county representative and the project's engineering/consulting team were aligned and to discuss a grant the project has already been approved to receive. She said the meeting would cover whether the grant needs a one-year extension or whether the project should move forward on completing tasks required to draw down the funds.
No formal action or vote was taken on the marina at this meeting. Gail said she would report back after the scheduled meeting.
The discussion emphasized continued staff work and external coordination rather than board direction or commitments of funding.
