A prominent Prince Edward County businessman and former Wellington Dukes star hopes to take over the operations of the marinas in both Picton and Wellington.
CJ Thompson, through his company Tenacity Capital, proposes a public/private partnership with county council and would lease both marinas for a dollar a year for an initial five-year term.
Tenacity would handle all of the day to day business of the marinas and intends to make both capital and service improvements.
Currently, the municipality runs the marinas and has been losing money.
County council will discuss the issue at its meeting tomorrow night (Tuesday).
Tenacity is the owner of the Tip of the Bay property next to the marina in Picton, an area slated for major development.
