Keating Announces $300K for Marshfield Dredging

Press Release

Rep. Bill Keating is pleased to announce that Marshfield has received a $300,000 award for the dredging of Green Harbor. Current plans will have the dredging of the Harbor commence this spring.

"Green Harbor is key to the economy and vitality of Marshfield and the entire South Shore," said Rep. Keating. "This funding is essential to protect and better prepare our community for the severe storms we have seen in the past few years. After the recent storm Juno that ravaged our coast, this money couldn't come at a better time."

"Marshfield's Green Harbor is one of the most productive commercial ports in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, and is a significant recreational boating resource for our entire region," said Rep. Jim Cantwell. "Reflecting the significance of this waterway, I am pleased that Congressman Keating and our entire federal delegation were able to secure the $300,000 to dredge Green Harbor."

"The Marshfield Board of Selectmen applaud the work of Congressman Keating for his role in securing the 300k for the dredging of Green Harbor," said Selectman Matt McDonough. "The dredging of Green Harbor is essential to the commercial and recreational viability of the port and the town is elated that the Army Corps of Engineers is going forward with this vital project."
