new building
noticed a little building being built on the apple island marina parking lot in south hero.was wondering if the land was sold or what it might be used for.
Re: new building
I checked out the little structure that's being built there as we were leaving the launch area yesterday. It would appear to be one of those Welcome center tourist information kind of things. As I understand it, the state is taking over the control of the launch area and parking lot. The last couple of times I've been there, nobody has tried to get money for parking as they did all summer. If the state does take it over, I hope they at least gravel the parking field. It can get pretty muddy and slippery at times.

That would be a big win for the fisherman who use that access. Hope that is true.

I thought it was a shed for Thornys new boat.
Re: new building
Marilyn was collecting money last weekend. Where did you hear the state was taking this launch over?
That's new news to me and I've been following it close.
It would be a very odd location for a visitor center since it's the main outlet for the ramp parking

Re: new building
Nothing official to announce on the proposed ramp yet. Keep your fingers crossed and we might just see a greatly improved Sate Ramp sooner than you think!

Re: new building
Marilyn is probably setting up a better place to collect fees. I'd rather have her spend money fixing her ramp. Her launch, her choice. The other ramp is great, but the parking..... I guess I'm too lazy to walk over to his parking lot.
State launch? Great concept.

Re: new building
Marco owns the field. Marilyn owns the ramp only.
I'm just reply surprised nobody here has heard a thing. I'm at the launch every week and yesterday as the first I heard it might be a state project.

There was a hearing/meeting in South Hero, I believe, about the potential of the state purchasing the land and making it a public launch site. I wasn't able to attend the meeting, but from what I heard, there was a fair amount of opposition from the residents, mainly I believe from those that live right near it, and what it would do to traffic there, concerns that it would turn in to a Mallet's Bay type of area, very busy, etc.
Nothing is finalized, but the concept is being addressed by the state as having potential.

Cas, that was my point. They held the meeting. Opposition was heavy and I was surprised to see the ground dug up already.
