  1. News report last night said West Herr was paying for the sand bar removal this year. 
    Didn't say if marina slips were going to open this year or not.
    Didn't say if sand bar was to be fully removed or half assed removed like last year.

    I was at the town office yesterday and they told me the slips would not be open this year just the launch.

  2. Hard to say when projects like this are run by local govt. Sure we can say yeah they did. But how much money is alloted per year?  It's obvious Covid killed any surplus of funds if they had a surplus.  Govt in general wastes more money than is in its coffers. 

    It’s not hard to say, that Marina is the only identity The Town of Evan’s has. Instead of thinking of ways to make it a cash cow they have screwed it into the ground making it a burden on the tax payer. Typical governmental mismanagement.

  3. Agree 100%. Yet if this was state run with how this state can not manage funds just how bad would it be?  There is no good or easy cure to this mess at S.P. outside of adding a additional wall extending out from the west wall of the harbor which would trap the sand between that wall and the gap area.  I took a ride yesterday to look at the mess. Sand is piled over top of the wall left of the gap all the way through east to the shoreline .   Outside of a dredge on a barge and scows removing the sand this safe harbor is nothing more than a tax burden to the town of Evans.   

    Based on my discussion with the Town of Evan’s Parks Department, extending the wall is their plan. I doubt that happens this year, but maybe they will surprise us. They said that they had been awarded two grants to fix the wall. I did not ask how much they were for.

    I spoke to the Town of Evan’s parks department last week and they said it is “highly unlikely” Sturgeon Point will be open this year. Long term they said they have received two grants and qualified for a third to fix and extend the wall. I hope they get that done this year!!

  5. Hamburg Sun news reported that the town budget has money in the proposed budget for 2021 for dredging the Marina.

    I spoke to the Town of Evan’s Park Department. They said it is unlikely Sturgeon Point Marina will open this year. Better make alternate slip plans. Tim

  6. Mary Hosler had a budget number last year too.  She decided not to spend it since the dredging was done by volunteers.  Where did that money go?  Why did they let the sand bar build up forcing early closure of the marina?  Slip holders like me lost nearly half the season and got no prorated refund.  She needs to be replaced she is mismanaging the resources in the Town of Evans.
