Phase I - Eddon Boat Building Restoration
On September 30th, 2009, over 100 community supporters turned out for the official dedication of the newly restored Eddon Boat Building. First Gentleman Gregiore attended the event and presented a letter from the Governor followed by comments from Senator Kilmer and Mayor Hunter. The 2004 "Save Eddon" campaign sign was changed from "Save" to "Saved" to complete the 5-year long preservation project.
The building's "make-over" included restoring the exterior to its original and historic colors. A red roof and (like many historic structures along the waterfront) white paint completed the renovation. Interior upgrades included a fire sprinkler system, electrical upgrades, structural stabilization, foundation work, and public restrooms at the brick house.
