NEW BUFFALO â Pleasure Isle Marina in New Buffaloâs harbor has a new owner and a new manager.
The New Buffalo Township Board finalized the townshipâs purchase of Pleasure Isle Marina on Dec. 17, and hired Julie Flick as the marina manager during its Dec. 21 meeting.
A boater herself, Flick was the Berrien County Sheriffâs lieutenant who headed the New Buffalo Township patrol until her retirement last June. True to her word, Flick took the summer off before finding her new assignment which will pay $200 per month and $15 per hour.
The 26-slip marina was purchased by the township from the William J. Deputy Endowment Fund for $500,000 over six years. The marinaâs value has been estimated at $3 million with estimated annual revenues of $136,000.
