IN 2020 THE STRUCTURE OF THE PIER AND MARINE RAILWAY WERE BUILT. FOR 2021, THE PIER / GANGWAY / MARINE RAILWAY WERE ALL COMPLETED AS WELL AS ADA RAMPING. IN 2022 THE INTERIOR WAS THE FOCUS OF THE RESTORATION WITH WALLS, WOODWORK, ELECTRICAL FIXTURES AND PLASTER BEING INSTALLED.

Compensation is as filed in Part VII: reportable pay from this organization and from related organizations, other compensation, and hours per week. The total, marked calculated, is our sum of the three dollar columns, with a blank column counted as $0; the form itself has no total. On a Form 990-EZ the columns are Part IV's instead, and on a Form 990-PF Part VIII's — compensation, contributions to benefit plans, and expense account — and the total sums those.
