Port Aransas harbor plan seeks 2.325 million funding
A congressional report from Washington details a $2,325,000 dredging and jetty extension program for Port Aransas proposed by a San Antonio based board of Army engineer officers. The plan includes jetty extensions, dike improvements, and 12 foot channels to improve access amid Gulf coast congestion. The board urges a $500,000 initial appropriation and seeks exemption for surrounding waters from navigable waterways laws, pending local bulkhead work.
