The owners of the Jefferson Beach Marina not only hope to make their slips shine again they want to reclaim its status as the anchor to St. Clair Shores Nautical Mile.
A new general manager, Semo Post, has been hired to oversee the extensive renovations to the historic marina. Boasting more than 800 boat slips on 53 acres, the marina is just north of Grosse Pointe Shores.
Among the planned projects are new decks, refurbished facilities, new fuel tanks and a repaved parking lot. The owners hope it will make the marina a top destination, drawing crowds to the line of shops, restaurants and marinas between 9 and 10 mile roads.
The Jefferson Beach Marina, 24400 Jefferson Ave., originally opened as the Jefferson Beach Amusement Park in the early 20th Century. It became a marina in 1959.
