Amesbury approves $1.2 million Seaport grant for Washington Landing boat launch restoration
Summary
The Amesbury City Council unanimously approved an amended FY2024 Seaport Economic Council grant totaling $1,199,660 for the Washington Landing Boat Launch Facility Restoration and Revitalization Project. The measure passed 7-0.
The Amesbury City Council unanimously approved an amendment to a FY2024 Seaport Economic Council grant in the amount of $1,199,660 on June 23 to support the Washington Landing Boat Launch Facility Restoration and Revitalization Project.
Councilor Pam Gilday said the Committee of the Whole recommended the order. The amendment authorizes the mayor to accept and expend the additional funds for restoration work at the Washington Landing boat launch. Councilors voted 7-0 to approve Order 2026-103.
The council did not provide detailed project timelines or a funding breakdown during the meeting; the order was presented as an amended grant award and referred to the Seaport Economic Council grant documentation. The city webpage includes a redline version of the Planning Board recommendations for other items discussed that evening.
Because the vote was unanimous and the grant is an amendment to an existing FY2024 award, councilors described the action as a technical authorization to accept funds and begin the project work pending administration implementation steps.
