More funds possible for LSA boat harbor

Wednesday, August 05 2009

Unalaska, AK – Unalaska might be getting another 2 million dollars from the federal government to help build the new Carl E. Moses small boat harbor. The Senate approved the Energy and Water Development appropriations bill last week. It included 2 million dollars to go to the Army Corps of Engineers to build the floating breakwaters and wave barriers for the new boat harbor. These are necessary before the city can start building the interior of the harbor. Both Senators Mark Begich and Lisa Murkowski will support the project as the bill moves to a joint committee between the Senate and the House of Representatives. However, the funding is not fully secured until the President signs the bill. If the bill passes, the Corps will still need an additional $10 million to complete the project. The City of Unalaska requested the senators to help them seek the funds.
