OSWEGO, N.Y. (WSYR-TV) — Oswego Mayor Billy Barlow has announced that Wright’s Landing Marina will reopen on Thursday, July 18th.

The marina had been closed due to flooding from high water levels on Lake Ontario. In the last few weeks, the water levels have dropped, allowing the city to clean up the marina and boat launch.

“As promised, I am re-opening the Wright’s Landing Marina now that the water level has slightly dropped in the Oswego Harbor. The Oswego Department of Public Works has re-built new walkways and ramps to allow for safe access to our docks and boat slips despite the high water levels due to Plan 2014,” said Mayor Billy Barlow. “I’d like to thank the Oswego DPW for their constant hard work and creativity as we’ve built around and over the high water and flooding. I also appreciate the patience and understanding from the Charters, recreational boaters and tenants of Wright’s Landing Marina, realizing this situation was due directly to Plan 2014 and out of the City’s control. We will continue to work around the issues caused by the flooding and high water to keep the marina open and will work to more permanent solutions for the remainder of this season and beyond
