About this episode
The episode discusses the development of a year-round gathering space at the Douglas Marina, highlighting community efforts and local contributions.
In 2020, the City of the Village of Douglas acquired an underutilized marina, which it has since begun to develop into a year-round gathering space, boasting gorgeous views, a lakeside pavilion, and rentable boat slips. Thanks to the generosity of two local residents, the Douglas Marina Park & Pavilion will be completed this summer.
