Boathouse Gets More Funding

The Echo Park Boathouse will receive a $1.45 million grant from the California Cultural and Historical Endowment Fund to complete a second phase of renovations. The grant was announced  by Assemblyman Kevin de Leon and Los Angeles  Councilman Eric Garcetti. A previous federal grant, which was obtained with the help of Congressman Javier Becerra, along with city support funded the first phase of boathouse renovations, including rebuilding the underwater piers, restoring the red-tile roof and relighting the lighthouse of the 1932 building.
