The ACOE plans for the groin look great !!! it will create a level , cleaner , more pleasant walk to the pier.

FEMA has agreed to a 12' elevation but the tackle shop and restrooms will be at 19'

We plan to use the same type of ramp to the pier ... but then there will be stairs (a lift for the handicapped)to get in the tackle shop.

We are at a point where time is of essence... next week we will be working on approval to  get the first 2 pilings in before the ACOE starts work on the groin... as they a putting in 4 to 6  ton boulders out 40 feet from the groin center making it impossible to put our first 2 pilings in place..

We also have to get the ACOE and the county to agree to allow us to place our utilities under the groin.

We have intentions of putting in light poles and trash containers on the groin but there is no designated place space on the ACOE plans ... we will be addressing these issues this week.

The contractor plans to be completed his work by the end of November.

By the time he is finished we should have all of our pilings in and be ready to lay the decking,railings, and tackle shop .

I must not be too smart because it never occured to me that this venture would take the co-ordination of so many agencies to complete this pier.

The reason we are doing it is because we own the pier but it really belongs to the fishermen and women of Galveston.

Now we are looking at a completion date of late winter early spring .

Thanks to all for your encouragement and patience
