NEW SHOREHAM, R.I. â Local and state agencies have battled over plans by Champlinâs Marina to expand on Block Island since 2003. .
Advocates for the expansion claim they want more access through the marina. Critics have called for limiting commercial development on the island, claiming that an expansion would hurt environmental resources.
Battle over the proposed marina expansion has gone on for nearly two decades
For nearly two decades, sides have battled over plans by Champlin’s Marina to expand on Block Island, and on Thursday, the legal wrangling took yet another major turn.
In a 40-page filing with the Rhode Island Supreme Court, the Rhode Island Attorney General s office argued, At every phase over the past seventeen years, all of the parties with an interest in the Champlin’s application have had opportunities to seek appellate review of the CRMC’s [Coastal Resources Management Council] decisions with respect to this application – until now. The CRMC and Champlin’s mediated resolution circumvented this open and required process where any aggrieved party could be heard.”
