The US Army Corps of Engineers has allocated $17,613,000 for dredging and jetty repairs at Toledo, Port Clinton, Sandusky, West Harbor, and Cooley Canal in Northwest Ohio. Key allocations include $9.2 million for Toledo Harbor dredging and $4.3 million for Port Clinton jetty repairs, vital for local ferry services and fishing operations.
Dredging at Sandusky Harbor will involve approximately 110,000 cubic yards, while West Harbor will receive funding to ensure a navigable entrance channel.
