Joe Parnell, a former assistant harbormaster and harbor expansion project critic, is holding a “town hall” meeting on the project.
Parnell said he’s holding the meeting “because I oppose the town going broke.” The meeting will be held 6 p.m. Monday, June 15 at the assembly chambers and is open to everyone.
“I hope to give a brief history of harbor expansion and explain where we’re at and why,” Parnell said. “This meeting is necessary to help the general public to get information and allow people to express their points of view. I think it’s been pushed down our throats a bit.”
Parnell said maintenance of a planned, 750-feet metal breakwater “will cost us a lot. There’s not going to be any revenues and we’re sidestepping the issue of refurbishing the Lutak Dock.”
