LEWISTON — A contentious discussion between the Village Board of Trustees, the owner of Whirlpool Jet Boat Tours and the general public resulted in the tabling of potential harbor changes.
No decision was made Monday on a proposal from Whirlpool Jet Boat Tours President John Kinney to install a new docking system on the south waterfront seawall adjacent to his company s staging area. Upon hearing from residents and boaters - and deciding it s time to review WJBT s existing contract - the Village of Lewiston Board, instead, opted to table.
LEWISTON — The new seawall has done its job of keeping rising waters out of the waterfront. But it has made accessing some boats in the river difficult.

Whirlpool Jet Boat Tours President John Kinney has proposed a docking system for the waterfront area parallel to his operation s staging area. He said the seawall there, as is, is not practically usable for transient boaters - or even for WJBT. Kinney would like to reconfigure the area to better accommodate his patrons. He has offered to donate his existing adjacent docking area to the municipality for the betterment of transient boaters.
