Council backs Harbor District’s grant application to rebuild Citizens Dock pier
Summary
The council approved a letter of support for the Crescent City Harbor District’s Port Infrastructure Development Program application to replace Citizens Dock (Pier 2); staff said the work would be phased to avoid disrupting the commercial fishing fleet and no city funds were requested.
The Crescent City Council unanimously approved a letter of support for the Crescent City Harbor District’s application to the U.S. Department of Transportation Maritime Administration’s Port Infrastructure Development Program to fund replacement of Citizens Dock (Pier 2).
Harbor District representatives said prior grants funded seawall replacement and a new Pier 1; the requested federal funds would support demolition and reconstruction of the remaining commercial dock structure. Harbor staff emphasized phasing the work to maintain fishing operations, saying the build‑new‑first approach reduces industry disruption.
"This is not asking for any fiscal support from the city," the Harbor representative told the council; the Council then voted to forward a supportive letter to the federal program.
What’s next: The Harbor District will submit the application; if the grant is awarded, construction would likely occur in later phases, with the council's letter included in the submission package.
