The rehabilitation project is being funded through a $10 million federal grant with local port funds.
The project will reinforce the old wharf, build a security fence, install lighting, and construct other surface work. Additional funds will upgrade the access road on the Glass Breakwater leading to the wharf.
The upgrades to Hotel Wharf will bring it into compliance with the U.S. Coast Guard criteria to regain certification as a designated waterfront facility and alleviate congestion at the main cargo terminal.
