Thank you to all of our Riverside neighbors for your patience and understanding as we made these improvements. Thank you to Weiler Engineering (now APEX) for an excellent design. Thank you to Thomas Marine Construction for a well-run project and a well-build structure. And last but not least thank you to the Charlotte County Board of County Commissioners for funding a project that benefits every water sports enthusiast in Charlotte County ... though our Riverside neighbors may want to keep it their little secret. ; )
