New London No Longer On Board For Waterfront Coordinator
Officials said they are no longer on board with having a waterfront coordinator and will find other ways to market New London to boaters.
NEW LONDON, CT - City officials have abandoned the idea of having a waterfront coordinator, the New London Day reported. They have instead opted to take other measures that will market the city to boaters.
The New London Port Authority has ceased negotiations with Thames River Water Taxi LLC, according to the New London Day. The company had responded to a request for companies interested in boosting activity at the city’s moorings and piers, and managing the waterfront overall.

The Port Authority instead voted Thursday to offer its moorings free to boaters Mondays through Thursdays, the New London Day reported. Voters also approved the use of $3,000 to run a series of television commercials to market the city's waterfront.
