Marquette, MI – February 9, 2021 – The cities of Negaunee and Ishpeming and the Ishpeming Rotary are continuing with a joint dock cooperation project for Teal Lake.
Heffron said the original project called for an ADA compliant dock and beach improvements on the west side of Teal Lake, but it would not work out as hoped. The project is now installing a dock system on both ends of Teal Lake.
Cugini said the project is a great way for the two communities working together on a common goal, and he is hoping to see more of such cooperation between Ishpeming and Negaunee in the future.
Heffron explained the Ishpeming side will handle canoes and kayaks, while the Negaunee side will handle canoes, kayaks, and sculls used by the Marquette Rowing Club, adding the project is slated for completion next year, but will depend on funding.
Grant applications are being planned for the Michigan D-N-R Trust Fund and the Recreation Passport Grant Program to help with the estimated $152,000 project.
The Rotary Club of Ishpeming has already committed $10,000 to the overall project and will be looking to add some additional funding.
