Boating Access Projects Vie For Approval
The Oregon State Marine Board, Oregon's recreational boating agency, will
consider grants totaling $2.1 million for boating access projects statewide
during their June 29 meeting in Newport. The board will sort through some
70 proposals for projects across the state seeking $8.2 million.
The meeting will run from 8:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. Tuesday, June 29. It will
be held at the Holiday Inn Newport, 3019 N. Coast Hwy. The meeting is being
held in a facility that is accessible for persons with disabilities. Persons
needing some form of assistance to participate in this meeting due to a
disability should contact Jill Andrick at (503) 373-1405, ext. 243, at
least two working days prior to the meeting.
Facility project proposals include boat docks, ramps, parking lots and
restrooms. Proposed projects are located throughout the state and include
standard maintenance, repairs, upgrades or construction of new facilities.
