2. FAQs

What did this project work consist of?

The work consisted of the construction of a new boat ramp, the creation of a second entrance to the parking area to better separate beach and boat traffic, and the improvement of boat trailer parking. The design also included a greater level of stormwater treatment and control.

How was this project paid for?

Funding to complete this project was secured at Town Meeting in May 2022. The Town attempted to find alternative funding sources for this project. Applications for state grants were unsuccessful, as were efforts to find other sources of funding. Much of the cost is related to replacing the existing pavement (entry, parking, access to ramp) which requires stormwater improvements, and to safety improvements of traffic flow and the separation of beach use from ramp use.

When was the project completed?

The project was completed in June 2024.
