Petersburg Urged Dredging Study For Small Boat Harbor
Petersburg Commercial Club calls for a preliminary harbor survey to dredge a portion of the harbor between the Public Dock and Citizens Dock and build a floating area for fishermen. If authorized this year the project may take two to three years to fund, pending Congress action. The plan mirrors Ketchikan’s Thomas Basin dredging and aims to improve mooring options along the waterfront. Letters to Mayor Oliver and support from Delegate Sutherland are planned.
