As I mentioned in an earlier post, I launched from the Edwards Boat Ramp the other day. What I failed to mention was that the old dock was missing and site work was being done overlooking the ramp. I asked for information from the County and Tim Milligan, Assitant Director of the Nassau County Building Department replied back with this release:
"Nassau County retained the engineering services Gillette and Associates of Fernandina Beach for the design of both Edwards Road (Nassau Landing) and Wilson Neck to have a paved accessible parking with an accessible route (ADA compliant sidewalk) with a ramp to the new floating docks in order to make the boat ramps accessible for all. This allows mobility impaired individuals the opportunity to board a vessel. The work was bid out with the low bidder, SteMic Enterprises, Inc. of Fort Myers, Florida being awarded the contract for both locations.
Wilson Neck concrete has already been poured in place with Nassau Landing following close behind. The floating docks have been fabricated and are ready for shipment with the installation to begin as soon as they hit the ground. The boat ramps will remain open during most of the construction".
