1207BOAT
A sinking houseboat near Sunrise Cove Marina in West Hall County sat on the shoreline after its ownder was found dead last year.
Forsyth County leaders plan to get in touch with representatives of the Hall, Gwinnett, Dawson and Lumpkin county governments to address the issue of abandoned docks and boats. During a discussion at the Forsyth County commission work session Tuesday, Commissioner Pete Amos volunteered to reach out to counties that border the lake in order to explore the matter. Joanna Cloud, executive director of the Lake Lanier Association, told commissioners that the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers has the authority to deal with the vessels.
