Description
As a waterfront community, Dunedin consists of many people who own boats. A spot familiar to many boaters is the Dunedin Marina.
Currently, city officials are developing a master plan to make the Dunedin Marina more accessible to the growing boating community. City officials explained, that since the pandemic, the number of people using the marina has exploded.
Boaters have seen the impacts of that, especially on the weekends when the marina is packed with people. A big concern residents have is there are so many people using the marina, but it's not up-to-date.
Some who have been using the marina for more than a decade want the city to consider upgrading infrastructure while keeping the marina's small-town charm.
"We don’t want to be some big fancy marina," one boat slip owner, Harold Schomacker said.
Schomacker and other boat slip owners are heavily involved in the city's master plan for the marina. They have been attending public meetings to have their input heard about the plan.
