Garrett spoke to Town Council at their August 15, 2022 public meeting. He was joined by Liz Knotts and myself. Just four years earlier we had a ribbon cutting for the recently finished packet boat. As Vice Mayor from 2016-18, it was Liz’s goal to finish the boat which had been sitting at Canal Basin Square—hull only—for about ten years. It took less than half of that time for the boat to disintegrate into a public nuisance and safety hazard. Fred Schneider designed the logo for Canal Basin Square. This is a public episode.
