New Lake Keowee marina delayed
Supply chain and logistical issues have delayed the finish of a new Lake Keowee marina on the Pickens County side of the lake. And a federal agency has granted an extension to the deadline for a final construction report for the Sunset Marina. The extension, by “FERC” – the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission – was granted to Duke Energy Carolinas. The lessee in the project, Mountain Lakes Marina, is obligated to build a new marina to replace the old Gap Hill Marina. The new Sunset Marina is to contain 13 boat docks to allow for 171 watercraft, along with a concrete access ramp to support a dry-stack facility outside the boundary of the Keowee-Toxaway Hydro Project. The extension granted allows until February 2025 the filing of a required construction completion report.
