Our FOWH board members recently met with the National Park Service "NPS" to discuss the upcoming renovation. The NPS confirmed the Watch Hill Marina will be open this May (May 7, 2016).
The renovation is planned to begin mid-September 2016 and will include:
3,841 linear feet of bulkhead (in front of existing bulkhead),
new decking,
replacement of electrical systems and water lines, and
new electric stanchions
the marina configuration will remain the same
Funding sources include $3.49 million from the Federal Highway Administration, $1.5 million from the National Park Service Hurricane Sandy Relief and $3 million from the National Park Service Recreation.
As you know, Fire Island Concessions (Ken and Marybeth Stein) are aware of the project and will be able to serve customers through most of the season i.e., September 15th. The timing of completion of the renovation is not available at this time as the 2017 winter weather is unpredictable.
FOWH will of course update you as we receive further information from the NPS. Looking forward to another great season at Watch Hill!
