The DeWitt County Board approved nearly $200,000 for the transfer of the American Rescue Plan Act funding to work that was done at Clinton Lake Marina.

Marina Committee Chair Dan Matthews told the DeWitt County Board at its Thursday meeting dedicating the roughly $186,000 would allow the County to put in a new breakwater.

Breakwaters at the marina have been a hot topic at the marina for a few years now and Matthews told the Board there are a couple of areas of concern - for those familiar with the marina, they are going to start at the south end. They are hiring Chastain and Associates to help with the project for $8,000. 

According to Matthews, a grant is going to help with some parking lot work at the marina and the hope is to see that completed in the spring as some repaving work is already done.
