As we were informed at the regularly scheduled Bayfront Advisory Council (BAC) meeting held this Thursday, 17 March, much is in the works for our area along Long Creek.  Marina Shores Marina is planning on an expansion to the east along Long Creek with the addition of several major floating docks to accommodate larger boats.  We have been told that the original design that had been proposed has been reworked to meet the requirements for the channel  and the estuary directly east of the marina. We are awaiting final design and dates for the required hearings for this project.  This project has the potential to significantly change our current waterway and add a commercial density that may not be in keeping with our neighborhoods’ present level of enjoyment.  As we have not yet seen the final design proposals, we can only guess as to what the new design will entail. The voiced and written objections expressed by many civic organizations including SDCC, Cape Story By the Sea, Bay Island and Cape Henry Shores have been acknowledged by both the city and the Marina Shores Marina owner, Ms. Gail Levine Biggs.  More to come shortly.
