State Lease Restricts Marina District Plans Near Sand Point Park in Titusville
What happened
Leaders in Titusville plan to expand the marina district near Sand Point Park into a year-round destination, including boat slips, restaurants, and shops. However, a state lease signed in 1963 currently restricts the city from making major updates to the area. Mayor Andrew Connors stated he hopes to meet with the Governor's Office to discuss the existing lease agreement.
