From Mayor Leonard Desiderio...
I was extremely happy to see that the new Jim Iannone Fishing Pier and Kayak Launch at Dealy Field has received a great deal of use since it was officially opened to the public on May 1. During the past six-months, countless people have enjoyed the pier in a variety of ways, including fishing for dinner, launching their kayaks, and taking-in the beautiful views from the facility’s covered observation pavilion – and that is exactly what we anticipated would happen when we started making plans to build the pier several years ago.
