​“Our shared goal, everyone’s goal in this room, everyone’s goal at the county level, is that the dredge will be operational in the water for the next dredge season,” Chenette said. “No one wants to delay that any further.”

Appreciate the invitation by Saco Mayor Jodi MacPhail to present the latest details around county dredge operations and answer questions from the City Council around how best for the city and the county to partner to tackle coastal erosion. ​

​Honored to participate in the 5th Annual Saco Bay Coastal Erosion Symposium hosted by SOS Saco Bay and the City of Saco. So important to bring every level of government together to continue tackling issues related to protecting our coast. Here is my update related to our county government’s dredge operation and where we stand today on the progress being made.
