Army Corps of Engineers gets funding for Grand Haven pier facelift | Local News
Due to Lake Michigan’s high lake levels, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers is planning to raise the Grand Haven pier to prevent water from splashing over top of it.
“We are going to look at increasing the height, the elevation of that structure,” said the corps’ dredging program manager, Melissa Bosman. “Then there is sediment along the structure in some areas of it, and we are going to address that as well.”
