Michigan marinas would be able to obtain low-interest loans for the purpose of dredging their harbors under recently introduced legislation co-sponsored by Senator John Proos.
Proos says lawmakers are still working to find places to come up with the $21.5 million Governor Snyder is calling for to dredge harbors all over the state. His bill would set up a process to enable privately owned marinas in Michigan to obtain low-interest loans for the purpose of dredging and maintaining the harbor. Proos and other lawmakers with harbors in their districts have blasted the federal government for not providing the money needed to dredge the federal channels, especially given Lakes Michigan and Huron have recently been at record-low water levels. The lake levels did rise slightly in February.
