Projects

Cove Harbor North Expansion and Development

The project to expand Cove Harbor North is off to a good start. The actual harbor area is being mechanically dredged. The material will be excavated, de-watered, and moved to an upland disposal site. The developer who leases this property from the District has presented conceptual plans to construct other improvements on the site as well. The area is ultimately expected to be utilized for multiple purposes with a mix of residential and perhaps retail space as well. The dredging currently underway is one of the pre-requisites placed on the developer under the terms of the current agreement.


A good start on creating the new harbor area can be seen here!

The harbor is appearing one bucket at time in a methodical process of "up and then back".

The trucks are filled over and over again as they work through the process.

What appears as mountains of earth are allowed to de-water prior to being moved to its designated upland disposal site.

The excavation will continue all the way to the buildings on the horizon of this picture.

Note the sloped sides on the bank as the cut goes down creating what will be roughly 8 feet of water depth once the harbor is allowed to fill.
