A quick reminder that there will be a meeting this evening at 6:00pm at the Town Hall to review alternative designs for protecting the town’s wharves.
If/when this project is pursued, it could be quite expensive.
So you are encouraged to attend, see what’s planned, and weigh in on what, when, and whether to make the investment in this Town resource.
There will be a public meeting to review conceptual designs for providing long-term protection of Blue Hill’s Village and South Blue Hill wharves against damage from increased storm intensity and for enhanced access for commercial fishermen and recreational users.
This is the Town’s opportunity to understand the alternatives for this potential project and to comment on design, timing, and next steps for the town’s future investment in the wharves. The work reviewed in this meeting will likely guide the Town’s investment in its wharves over the next decade–an investment that could represent several million dollars. So taxpayers are encouraged to educate themselves, regardless of whether they use the wharves.
The meeting will be held on Tuesday, September 16 at 6:00pm in the Town Hall Auditorium. Presenting their research and designs will be GEI Consultants, a Portland-based engineering firm retained to help the town assess the risks to our waterfront infrastructure and to apply their expertise to assisting the town in evaluating strategies for protection of these assets.
