As our Heritage Community continues to grow, our various Boards recognized the need for additional space to hold, events, and activities. For most of us, the Marina is a special place to visit the “River” so this seemed like a natural space to expand.

The Marina committee and Larry Sander, Board liaison, proposed that a deck adjacent to the Marina Club House be constructed. Our Heritage Board of Directors approved the plan. The deck is being constructed partially by outside contractors, and finished by the volunteer work of our Heritage friends and neighbors; boaters and non-boaters alike.

So, what is going on with that plan? Check out these photos but more importantly, come to the Heritage Marina and see for yourself.

First, our own Ray Laney, an experienced builder, drew the plans and with our dock master, Doug, got them approved by all relevant local and federal authorities. Next, Ray partnered with neighbor and boater, Bob Kretz, another experienced builder and craftsman, to get started. A professional contractor was selected to set the poles and beams, and now all kinds of Heritage volunteers have joined the team to finish the project, and are there working nearly every day. They are joined by a number of “supervisors.” Ray is on the left in the "Navy" hat conferring with the contractor.
