HARBOR BEACH Due to structural changes to the Harbor Beach Marina project, the language for several grants the city received needed to be amended, according to Harbor Beach Mayor Gary Booms.
At the Jan. 18 city council meeting, council members discussed amending four matching grants given through the Michigan Department of Natural Resources. An agreement addendum was required by the state for each of the matching-grants.
Later, the mayor explained the changes were necessary due to water level changes on Lake Huron, and the physical/structural changes needed at the town’s marina. He went on to say there were no dollar amount changes.
