August 31, 1983 – Construction of the new harbor office will be subsidized with $60,000 from the Phase III construction funds for the new boat harbor, according to Harbormaster Jim Stromdahl.

Harbormaster Stromdahl said the New Harbor project will not be hurt if the $60,000 is removed.

The additional funds became necessary when the low bid came in at $122, 990 over the architect's estimate of $238,240.

The difference was made up by the state Department of Transportation transferring $60,000 of the $1.9 million set aside for Phase III of the South Boat Harbor.
