Keeping the Sturgeon Point Marina open continues to be a hot topic in Evans. Pete Bogulski, who lives near the marina, is a local version of Popeye.

The “TOWN” is getting $1,700,000 in COVID relief money. It’s the “RESIDENTS” money, not the town boards. If a significant majority of residents want “THEIR” money spent on marina maintenance, it’s the town board’s job to make it happen.
Evans has 12 miles of waterfront. Why are we a poor town? Sturgeon Point Marina, Bennett Beach, Wendt Beach, no make that “Wendt Park” since town won’t hire lifeguards, are examples of underused assets that could be used to develop tourism in Evans. Imagine a resort hotel at Sturgeon Point Marina. However, when the supervisor won’t work to get sewers to the marina, you can’t build a hotel. Why wasn’t this task delegated to a department head?
