The draft supplemental environmental impact statement is due in about two months on the proposed 257-acres, $300 million Pleasant Harbor Marina and Golf Resort at Brinnon on Hood Canal. Paul Gottleib of thePeninsula Daily News brings us up to date on the project.
The urbanization of the Hood Canal continues to move forward. When you add up the new Navy base expansion, this project, and other nonsense being foisted on us for purely economic reasons, it is going to take a lot of work to stop these megaprojects.
The only good news is that the economic issues have not changed at all since last year. There is still a huge inventory of unsold properties in this county, both at Port Ludlow (the closest similar project) and throughout Jefferson County. The jobs to be created by this are tiny, and transitory. But getting financing, and finding buyers will also be a difficult job.
