The City of Algoma’s dredging project planned for earlier this spring in the marina has started with hopes of completion for the spring boating season. Algoma Administrator Matt Murphy says the city obtained the necessary permits for dredging two weeks ago. Hopes are to remove 16,000 cubic yards of material and open the Algoma Marina in the spring. Murphy shares why the dredging is needed for boaters.
The dredging was initially scheduled for last April and was contracted with Iron Works Construction of Baileys Harbor for $427,000. The project will take several weeks, and the final dredging material will be removed by early February.
