Milton Lowers Boat-Dock Fees


Council hopes reduced costs will generate more revenue

MILTON — Milton officials are using basic economics to help generate a few extra bucks.

Since increasing boat dock fees in 2009, the town has seen a significant decrease in revenue. To regain that lost money, town council voted Aug. 1 to lower the fees and create an incentive for renting year round.

“It’s like when a doctor gives you medicine,” said Councilwoman Mary Hudson. “You need to give him feedback as to if it’s being effective. I think the higher rates are not being effective.”
