The Slavit family says it is not giving up on bringing a passenger riverboat to Haverhill and pledges to bring everyone together in an attempt to resolve any concerns.
Tim Slavit, son of late Harbormaster William J. “Red” Slavit, Thursday afternoon complied with an order to remove two concrete moorings he had placed Sunday in the Merrimack River, off Water Street. Northern Tree Service returned and raised the structures out of the water. The moorings are now being stored at Slavit’s home. He said his meeting with the Haverhill Harbor Commission Tuesday went “sour” and he would like to start over.

SPRINGFIELD State grants totaling $1.25 million will help environmental cleanup at five sites around the state, a step towards making the properties available for housing and other economic development.
One of the $250,000 grants will go toward cleanup at 846 and 876 Bay St. in Springfield, a 7.3-acre former auto salvage and scrapyard. Northern Tree Service last year received City Council approval to use the property for a wood-waste processing facility.
The money comes from MassDevelopment’s Brownfields Redevelopment Fund. The fund supports environmental assessment and cleanup of underutilized or abandoned properties in “economically distressed” areas of the state.
