Weigand Marina Expansion Project Update

The topic of this video is the Weigand Marina Expansion Project (STARWARS) and where we currently are in the construction process. As you will learn in this video, Stage 1 and Stage 2 of this expansion project have already been completed. Senator Barry DeKay joins us and updates us with a lot of New Information about the construction and plans moving forward. Senator DeKay has been the project leader of STARWARS in the Nebraska legislature for the last couple of years. He knows what is happening in the Nebraska legislature and we thank him for giving of his time and information concerning this project. There is nothing more important to us at Shore to Shore Realty LLC than sharing the information we have with you about living and working in our area.

Our first video with Senator DeKay concerning STARWARS was October 11, 2023. We followed up that video with our second video of how the bill managed it’s way through the Appropriations Committee in the Nebraska legislature. We have been following the Weigand Marina Expansion Project for over 2 years and we will continue to share straight forward information with our viewers until the project is completed.
