The June 2013 through September 2014 Beaver Beacon issues report that St. James Township accepted a $1,015,000 Waterways Grant at an April 19 special meeting for Paradise Bay dredging. The September 2013 report says final harbor-dredging plans targeted a 13-foot depth to reach the Municipal Marina and private docks to the north. The September 2014 issue reports progress toward permits, with a DEQ permit issued and an Army Corps of Engineers permit still pending.
