Port seeks public comment on Boyer docks modification

The Port of Whitman County will host an open house Monday, Sept. 17, seeking public input on proposed upgrades to the Boyer Park Marina near the Lower Granite Dam.

The meeting will run from 4 p.m. to 7 p.m. at the Whitman County Library in Colfax.

The Port of Whitman County is redesigning the Boyer Park Marina and is looking for public suggestions on what the design should include. The initial focus is to modify docks 1 through 7, improving access and overall dock condition.

The Port will submit the design to the Washington Recreation and Conservation Office as part of a future grant request.

Project information and updates will be available on the Port’s website and Facebook page at: http://www.portwhitman.com.

A consultant team led by Mott MacDonald is developing the design based on broad public input and study of the marina’s current operations and needs. The Sept. 17 open house will allow the public to view design proposals and to critique them to help with final refinements.

Additional information is available from Debbie Snell, port properties and development manager, at 509-397-3791.
