The Army Corps of Engineers awarded a $7.3 million contract to a Michigan-based company to improve conditions at Barcelona Harbor in Westfield. The project aims to address sediment buildup and crashing waves along the West Breakwater, which previously blocked the navigation channel. The work, which includes dredging and installing a stone overlay, is scheduled to begin in Summer 2027.
