Federal funds received for Morro Bay T-pier renovation

Federal funding of $1.5 million has been secured for the renovation of Morro Bay pier's northern T-Pier. 

The T-Pier, which was constructed in the 1940s, requires major renovations, including the replacement of over 50 structural pilings, new decking, and safety systems improvements. The planning and execution of the North T-Pier renovations will be conducted in phases. Further funding is expected through grant programs. 

Representative Salud Carbajal secured the funding and expressed pride in the project's commencement, citing the pier's critical role in the community. The South T-Pier repairs, which received renovation funding through the city's general fund, will be initiated before the North T-Pier renovations. 

The city has applied for FEMA funding to address storm-related damages on other repairs.
