Wharf project to begin Nov. 1

Port of Siuslaw Manager Robert Forsythe has announced the long-awaited wharf improvement project will begin Nov. 1, with in-water work scheduled to be completed by Feb. 15, 2013.

The project involves demolition and reconstruction of portions of the Old Town Wharf to improve its safety and stability.
