Harbormaster wants to 'improve customer service' with small car

Jan 14, 2015

Harbormaster Jill Simmons has added an electric car to her wish list for the department.

A small open car, described as a “step above golf cars,” would be used to provide assistance at Ned’s Point, the Barstow area and other locations along the wharf, such as reaching boaters at the end of a dock more quickly or giving a ride to those with mobility issues so they still have access to the water.

“It would improve customer service a lot,” Simmons told Selectmen on Tuesday.

The car costs around $14,000.
