A $200,000 grant for a boat dock on the Harmar Village side of the Muskingum River has been approved.

State representative Jennifer Garrison said the State Controlling Board approved the grant Monday.

Now the city will move forward in a quality base selection process for the design of the Americans with Disabilities Act compliant boat dock.

There are also plans for a paved path and additional lighting.

Officials said the grant is lower than what the city applied for and the scale of the dock has lowered from 200 feet to 100 feet.

The money is made possible by the Waterways Safety Fund administered by the Ohio Division of Natural Resources Division of Watercraft.
