We have been informed that by the local Corp of Engineers that the funding has been secured to replace the boat ramp @ the Saylorville Marina. The initial timeline looks like estimated construction will begin the end of May 2009 with completion estimated the end of August 2009. This timeline is only an estimate and subject to change.
This project has been a priority for us and the Northeast Polk County Coalition. The Marina represents a tremendous economic impact on Polk City and this is truly good news.
