Next Monday, December 2nd at 10:00am, the Healey-Driscoll Administration, the City of Salem, state and local leaders, and community members will gather to celebrate the completion of the Salem Willows Fishing Pier. Since 2020, the Department of Fish & Game’s Division of Marine Fisheries (DMF) and Office of Fishing & Boating Access (OFBA) have partnered with the City of Salem to rebuild the iconic fishing pier in Salem Willows Park. Supported significantly by the City of Salem, as well as $2 million raised from the sale of recreational saltwater fishing permits, and additional support from the Seaport Economic Council and federal Sportfish Restoration Program, the $5 million project will provide vital public access to fishing for thousands of visitors annually.
All are welcome to attend the grand opening and ribbon cutting of this important community resource!
