The U.S. Department of the Interior Fish and Wildlife Service awarded a $365,869.82 Sportfishing and Boating Safety Act (CFDA 15.622) Project Grant to the Vermont Department of Fish & Wildlife to facilitate redevelopment of on-water fueling facilities and create additional transient dockage at the Shelburne Shipyard on Lake Champlain. The proposed project includes the replacement of a 165-ft. floating fuel and transient dock with a new 400-ft. long x 12-ft. wide floating dock that will provide 474 linear feet of berthing space for transient boaters and a new 263-ft. fuel dock area with new dispensers, hoses, and hose reels. This project seeks to better serve transient boaters on Lake Champlain by addressing the limited space and congestion at the nearby Burlington marinas. The award has a performance period from August 1, 2024 to July 1, 2027.
