Riverwalk Marina Update: City crews helped clean up some environmental issues that were discovered at the Riverwalk Marina construction site. Under the supervision of an environmental engineer, City crews worked for two days to remove tainted soil from the area. A surprise discovery were two underground tanks that had not been previously marked. One was mostly filled with concrete and an undetermined liquid. A second tank had allowed groundwater to seep in. A specialty firm retrieved the liquids from the tank for disposal.
The site has now been cleared, and crews can move forward with final stages of construction. This project is funded by grants and City funds, and the new Marina will be a safe site to enjoy waterfront access.

Riverwalk Marina Area History: The site was originally used for turpentine production, and a wood mill was located in the area. The City's first marina was constructed in the 1950's as Jacksonville came into the "boomtown" era.
