Clinton Harbor Dredging Efforts Continue Amid Sediment Buildup Concerns
What happened
Clinton Harbor officials reported ongoing concerns regarding sediment buildup at the town marina, which is causing some boats to become stuck in the mud during low tide. The town marina collected $142,163 in revenue through October 6, 2026. Dave Adams, commission chairman, discussed dredging efforts with Joe Courtney's office, while officials also reported continuing discussions with the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers regarding the federal navigation channel.
