Old Pass LagoonAnchorage Opposed by Local Association
Holiday Isle Improvement Association opposes designating Old Pass Lagoon as a special anchorage citing safety pollution and shoreline litter concerns. Association leader A N O Steeen notes 190 canal lot owners and 202 lagoon front properties would face hazardous traffic and calls for environmental benefit before dock permits. Jack Spey counters that designation aids safety and will not increase pollution with proper regulation.
