The grand opening of the Navy Pier Marina will be postponed until spring 2022 because of permit-related issues, project manager Randy Podolsky announced in a statement on the Navy Pier Marina's website.
The project, originally scheduled to open in 2021, aims to become Chicago's first all-transient marina and provide flexible short-term docking options for the local boating community.
"Despite all other governmental agencies and approvals being in place, we have not received our final permit to construct from the City Department of Transportation," Podolsky said in the statement. "Please understand that we are working hard to finalize permitting and get construction started, but given Covid circumstances, we are required to delay the grand opening until Spring of 2022. While this is disappointing to us at NPM, I can assure you that we are ready to proceed once the bureaucratic logjam has loosened."
