QUINCY â Proposals will be accepted for a private operator to run Art Keller Marina.
The Quincy Park Board on Wednesday agreed to issue a request for proposals that would seek private operators for the marina.
The RFP will be released Thursday, with a pre-proposal meeting on Dec. 17, and proposal due to the Park District on Jan. 11.
Commissioners could select an operator as early as its Jan. 20 meeting.
Consideration to privatize the marina was brought up at the boardâs annual retreat in August amid a drop in boat slip rentals over the last decade. At least one individual has approached the district about privatizing the marina, and Executive Director Rome Frericks told the board that others have expressed interest as well.
