Public marina and private management profit together
In 2008, the city-owned River Street Marina in Port Huron, Mich., was operating at a $200,000 deficit and had been for years. Then, it hired the firm Acheson Ventures to turn things around. With the management firm’s experience operating other facilities and the attention to detail by Dave Brown, Acheson’s director of marine operations, River Street Marina turned an $18,000 profit its first year as a public/private partnership between Acheson and the city.
