Grand Haven Municipal Marina All Tore Up
Wednesday, March 19th, 2008In case you haven’t been down to the waterfront lately, the Grand Haven Municipal Marina is all tore up. The $1 million project to replace the docks is underway, and it is expected it will be completed by May 1.
The Grand Haven Municipal Marina sidewalks and lawn areas are completely torn up. New sidewalk for the docks and power hook-ups will be installed.
Where once there were 31 docks now there will be 28 fixed slips to accommodate larger boats. There will also be a price increase for boaters wanting to spend the night. A 24-foot boat will pay $27 a night, compared to $24 last year. Meanwhile, a 40-foot vessel will pay $48, up from $43. This will bring the price up to the premium rates that other marinas in the area are charging.
I am glad to see all these improvements to our local Grand Haven area. I think all the summer people are going to be pleasantly surprised as well.
The Grand Haven waterfront area just keeps getting better and better. It won’t be long now until all these boaters get into the water. Hopefully no one will be turned away from our Municipal Marina when they come to dock for the night. Grand Haven loves its boaters.
