The Suttons Bay Village Council approved the 2024 village marina master plan following a public hearing at their meeting Monday night. According to documents presented to the village council by village Manager Rob Larrea, the new master plan will make the village eligible to pursue granting opportunities in the future.
In his staff comments to the council, Larrea said they plan to use grant funds to reconfigure/ replace the dockage from the old boat launch to the west; replace the pedestrian bridge; combine functions of the two huts into one, to be constructed where the eastern gas hut is located; replace/upgrade the parking lot and marina bath house; and install wave attenuator.
“This is the vision to keep us moving forward, so our support of this will allow them to apply for the grants, allow us to move forward. It could take quite a while to implement this. There’s a lot of money to be spent and raised, which we don’t have right now,” village President Steve Lutke said. “I also support this to let this vision continue to come to fruition.”
