§ 43450 Harbor Improvement Financing Authority

Key Takeaways

  • •Cities near water (like harbors or bays) can borrow money to fix or improve their waterfront areas.
  • •The money can be used for things like building piers, fixing walls by the water, or cleaning up the harbor.
  • •This only applies if the city is next to the water, even if the state owns part of it.

Example

A city by the ocean wants to build a new pier for boats to dock.

The city can take out a loan to pay for building the pier because it’s by the water and will help the harbor.
