I’d heard a rumor it might reopen this spring and I’d been meaning to follow up on it with Region 6.

Sent an email today and here is the reply:

We are in the process of obtaining all the permits needed to get the 7400 Access site installed. Unfortunately as a state agency, it takes even longer to get the permits necessary than would a private citizen. We have many people here working very hard on the process and with any luck at all, MAYBE it will be done by this summer. Yes, this is a priority for us and we value your inquiry as to how the project is coming along.
