In 2009 the Washburn Harbor Commission created a comprehensive site plan for the Washburn Marina. Since its inception they have implemented portions of that plan on a nearly annual basis as funding and time allowed. In 2013, the Harbor Commission was able to secure partial funding to proceed with the portion of the plan depicted above affecting the boat ramp and adjacent parking area. It was hoped the project would begin construction in the fall of 2014, but complications to portions of the funding and other issues delayed it.
Earlier in 2015, the funding and issues were ironed out and bid package should be prepared by March 2015. It is hoped the project will begin in April as soon as the weather allows. It is an extensive project and will certainly disrupt certain components of the marina from time to time. However, the normal operations of the marina, marina slips, and launch will proceed as usual. Some components of the above plan will be changed due to funding agency limitations. The key elements to remain include:
- Replacement of the existing ramp fingers and addition of guest slips to the northwest of the ramp.
- Boater restrooms near the ramp and head of pier 3.
- Boat wash down station and biofiltration basin to catch waste water and storm water run off.
- Blacktop angled parking for vehicle and trailers while out on the water, with additional overflow gravel parking.
- Improved circulation pattern to the ramp approach and exit.
