Saxon Harbor Repairs Contract

Saxon Harbor has awarded $1.375 million from The U.S. Corps of Engineers to dredge the harbor and repair huge damages by last summer’s flooding in Iron County.

Intense rainfall from the July 11 storm washed boats and debris into Lake Superior from Saxon Harbor’s Marina and Campground, cutting off access to the popular tourist destination. This projects will be awarded funding by the end of September and the money will be used for dredging the harbor and repairing navigation structures.

Restoring the harbor and its federal property assets is essential to safe navigation on Lake Superior and the region’s economic stability. Iron County is working with the Foth engineering firm out of De Pere on final construction designs for Saxon Harbor and expects to have those in hand by November.
