There’s good news for those who use the harbor and for all “city-proud” citizens! Seadrift Harbor is currently having debris removed from its waters. And it’s all because of a FEMA grant, help from Urban Engineers, and the staking and mapping done by Councilman Kenneth Reese and our previous Harbor Master Ricky Carter who retired in March 2020. T.F.R. Enterprises, Inc got the bid for the debris removal and plan on being finished by mid-August. Some other good news is that the City received an Economic Development Agency grant to finish bulk heading the harbor, renovate its shoreline, and dredge the channel connecting the harbor to the Navigation District’s channel and dig the harbor to original depths. This is projected to possibly begin late 2021.
