The Corpus Christi City Council in Texas, United States, has approved a $6.6 million USD construction contract for new facilities and site improvements at the Corpus Christi Marina, supporting updated amenities for marina users along the downtown waterfront.<\/p>\n

\"\"\/City of Corpus Christi <\/p>\n

The council awarded the contract to B. E. Beecroft Company, Inc., a Corpus Christi-based firm, for work at the Coopers L-Head area of the marina. Funding for the project will come from the city\u2019s Type A Sales Tax.<\/p>\n

Plans include the construction of a new two-storey boaters\u2019 facility with a total floor area of about 3,500sqft (325sqm). The building will provide public restrooms, shower and restroom facilities for marina tenants, a laundry room with washers and dryers, and space for meetings and storage.<\/p>\n

Alongside the new building, part of the L-Head parking lot will be resurfaced and restriped. The work also includes new curbs and gutters, as well as limited landscaping intended to improve access and site conditions.<\/p>\n

Construction is expected to begin in spring 2026, with completion scheduled for February 2027.<\/p>\n

Jonathon Atwood, marina manager, said: \u201cWhen completed, the new, fully equipped boaters\u2019 facility at the Coopers L-Head will offer exciting new features for marina tenants and visiting boaters.\u201d<\/p>\n

Robert Dodd, director of parks and recreation, said: \u201cThe new boaters\u2019 facility is part of a master plan to elevate our city\u2019s prominent asset into a Coastal Bend premier marina, featuring new state-of-the-art floating piers, a sustainable boardwalk creating a world-class experience for our marina tenants, visiting boaters and everyone visiting our beautiful city\u2019s bayfront.\u201d<\/p>\n

Located along the downtown waterfront, the Corpus Christi Marina provides more than 560 wet slips for pleasure and commercial vessels, including berths for vessels measuring 50ft (15 metres).<\/p>\n

Amenities at the marina include a sanitary pump-out station, private showers and restrooms, laundry facilities, public boat ramps, dry storage and service yard areas, as well as a boat repair facility with a 25-tonne travel lift. The marina is within walking distance of restaurants, attractions and nightlife venues in central Corpus Christi.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The Corpus Christi City Council in Texas, United States, has approved a $6.6 million USD construction contract for…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":147901,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[14],"tags":[155,157,156],"class_list":{"0":"post-147900","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-corpus-christi","8":"tag-corpus-christi","9":"tag-corpus-christi-headlines","10":"tag-corpus-christi-news"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/147900","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=147900"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/147900\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/147901"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=147900"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=147900"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=147900"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
