ast November, the US Department of Transportation (DOT) awarded $20 million to the City of Cordova for the ongoing rebuild of its South Harbor. And while the process to replace the aging harbor will be a long one, for the city and one of the state's largest commercial fishing fleets, the project couldn’t get started soon enough. “We’ve been needing it for a long time; the harbor that is being replaced was being built in 1981 when I first came here and was expected to have about a thirty-year lifespan,” says fisherman Jeff Bailey of the FV Odyssey and FV Miss Margeaux. “Now, it’s on year forty."
