Port of Palmyra
Marina Project



Progress reports and pictures as the long-awaited Marina project unfolds.
Ground-breaking took place on August 15, 2000

Project Timeline: Beginning August 2000
Project Budget: $292,400 (HUD), $100,000 (Canal Corporation), $50,000 (NYS Parks/EPF), $25,000 (DEC Pumpout Grant)

The heart of Palmyra's canal improvements program is its new Marina at the Division Street bridge. It will be part of the plan to offer boaters improved services along the entire length of the canal. It will provide a direct connection between the canal and downtown Palmyra, and help to fuel the economic revitalization that the Canal Corridor Initiative envisioned, with increased tourist traffic to the village.
