A plan to develop Sand Island into an ocean recreation park drew protestors to the state Capitol Tuesday afternoon.
Dozens of paddlers and their supporters sign-waved to show their opposition against the state’s proposed development to build a new marina and park at Sand Island.
"We’re trying to say state, if you do this now you’re really losing the last good place for us to paddle, safe place," said Rendell Burg, who opposes Sand Island development. "We just feel that the state is only looking shortsighted right now and the marina is quick you know get some money really quick and we’re not looking in the long term of thing."
The project would cost more than $30 million.
The Department of Land and Natural Resources says it’s still discussing alternatives for the ocean recreation area.
