GLADSTONE Plans are underway to repair Gladstone’s boardwalk that was damaged by high water levels in recent years.
The Gladstone Downtown Development Authority recently discussed a funding request for the boardwalk, which has been rendered unsafe due to high water.
K & M Industrial has provided a $400,000 estimate for renovating the boardwalk in two areas, by 4th Street park and by Saunders Point. The DDA is writing a grant application for $200,000–the maximum allowed for the construction project–with a 50% match from the city of Gladstone. The city has approved $100,000 for the project, with another $100,000 needed to fulfill the financial commitment on Gladstone’s part.
