Work on Sioux City Marina continues after amendment to contract
SIOUX CITY, Iowa (KCAU) — Work on the Sioux City Marina continues to move forward, with officials optimistic that boating will return sooner rather than later. City council members approved an amendment 4-0 on the original agreement between the city and managing company F3 Marina, clarifying a lawyer's error in the agreement regarding the responsibility for the insurance requirements within the agreement. Sioux City to honor Arbor Day with tree planting event Mayor Bob Scott told KCAU 9 that F3 Marina is hard at work repairing the marina. 'First of all, we have this group and they have come in and are beginning the process of leasing docks,' Scott said. 'But we're still continuing to get the silt and that out of there, and they're assessing it. There has to be repairs to some of the docks and things like that. So they're in the very beginning stages of that, obviously. They've only been on board a couple of weeks, but they're gearing up to have boats in that harbor this year.' F3 Marina still plans to open the marina before Memorial Day. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved. This material may not be published, broadcast, rewritten, or redistributed.
