Pursuing "attainable, innovative" economic development.
The district's Strategic Plan mandates this, but current plans for development are neither attainable nor innovative.
Shipping Channel Depths Need to Returned to 36'
The channel deepening done in 1999 - 2000 was done in anticipation of shipping which has not occurred. The increased depth, and consequent increased water flow, is damaging the bay.
