New Squantz boat launch on Candlewood in the works - 09/10/20 09:59 PM
The Squantz Cove boat ramp on Candlewood is going to be updated.
Here are few details:
- Will be ADA compliant and fit needs of more boaters
- Entire area will be excavated to do the work (probably no blasting required)
- Will include a floating dock system
- Will include a separate canoe/kayak launch area
- To include a toilet building
- Will haandicapped parking
- Solar powered lighting
- Expanded parking area
Early design ready by early next week.
Then a public information meeting will be scheduled to look and comment (might be virtual) hopefully before next spring.
Then there will be a final design & permitting phase.
Depending on opposition, then a formal hearing process (could take months)
If it goes smoothly, could go into the permitting phase in spring.
Don't anticipate construction until summer of next year earliest.
