BOAT HAULOUT –  A load of rock is dumped as workers on a barge connect pilings at the site of the boat haulout in the Gary Paxton Industrial Park today. The $9.2 million haulout is one of several multi-million dollar projects scheduled for completion in 2025; the $45 million airport expansion and the $300 million SEARHC Hospital are also scheduled to open this year.
