For too long, communities in the First Congressional District which rely on tourism have seen the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (the Corps) recklessly wield their authority to charge administrative fees for improvement projects and events located on Corps owned and managed marina property. The MARINA Act recognizes the role locally owned marinas have in fulfilling the Corps congressionally mandated mission of enhancing recreational opportunities by creating a standardized framework for calculating administrative fees and capping the amount of sales on items with a low profit margin that can be used to determine a marina operator’s annual rent to the Corps. | 1 | 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z | 2026-04-08T03:08:33Z |
