Dunkirk approves dredging of harbor

A dredging project to improve the Dunkirk recreational harbor was approved by members of the Common Council Tuesday.

The contact for the work is with Dean Marine of Michigan. A motion for the work had been tabled during a previous meeting, pending research and details. But on Tuesday, a revised motion with more details about the funding was unanimously approved.

Dean Marine worked on the Barcelona Harbor in Westfield last year, dredging and deepening the harbor after several storms created shallows. The cost for the city’s work is $116,500, with an additional fee of $52,885 for mobilizing the equipment used for the work.
