Summary

The Historical Society described plans for a Print Shop addition, further Heritage Park landscaping and exhibits, a cultural inventory of Island historic sites and artifacts, and a protective structure over the Bob S. The report also says the Army Corps approved a Marine Museum revetment while the DEQ rejected it and suggested a modest high-water-mark seawall instead.

Evidence limits
