SALEM, OR—The Oregon State Marine Board announced last week it has granted $3.5 million for boating access projects during 2005-‘07.
The money, when combined with federal and local funds, will result in boating facility enhancements worth an estimated $9 million, the board said. The funding decisions were reached during a board meeting in Newport, Oregon, in late June.
“The Marine Board is pleased to be able to help our partners around the state build these facilities,” says Wayne Shuyler, facilities program manager and deputy director of the Oregon State Marine Board. “From new ramps and restrooms to better parking lots, these projects will give boaters safer and more functional places to launch their boats and park their trailers. All of the state funds in these grants come from fees and fuel taxes paid by boaters. We’re excited to invest this money back into local sites throughout Oregon where they can be enjoyed by all boaters.”
