We’ve received several great questions from the community about the pier, so here are a few updates:
Why didn’t the City change the design of the pier?
The City is rebuilding the pier within the existing parcel. Any changes outside of the City-owned parcel would have required additional state and federal approvals, including a new submerged land lease. By utilizing elements of the previously approved and permitted design and location, the City was able to secure permits more quickly and move the project forward without delay.
When will the pier open?
The contractor has until December 2026 to complete construction.
Is the contractor on schedule?
Yes! The contractor remains on schedule. Even though the structure may look close to finished from the shore, there is still substantial work ahead.
Will there be a grand opening?
As we get closer to completion, the City will share details about an official opening date. Stay tuned!
Thank you for your continued patience and excitement as we work toward bringing the new pier to life!
