The only logical reason to secure a cost estimate for a new pier is if the current pier needs to be replaced.
Several years ago BBHWP received a copy of an engineering report about the structural safety of its pier. The estimate for replacing the pier was $1.2 million.
If BBHWP submits a new application to develop this property, on behalf of the general public’s safety the Planning Board must investigate the structural integrity of the existing pier.
