Quinte West Pushes Marina

It’s been a busy boating season on the Trent River in Quinte West. Nearly 900 boaters have docked at the Frankford Marina so far this year…that’s more than all of last season.  Meantime, the Quinte West Economic Development Committee was brought up to speed, at last night’s meeting, on the progress toward a 380-slip marina to be constructed at the mouth of the Trent River in Downtown Trenton. Mayor John Williams says the Ministry of Environment and Parks Canada are ready to cooperate and the Feds and Province like the project. Tenders will go out next year for the marina building, landscaping and road with construction to begin in 2012 and the marina would begin operating after that. It’s hoped the 12-million dollar marina project will bring lots of economic spin-offs to the city
