OGDENSBURG â The Ogdensburg Bridge and Port Authority Board of Directors took no action Thursday on the cityâs proposal to open a beach on authority land this summer, but is expected to send City Council a counter proposal in time for its Monday night meeting. City Council, during its March 24 meeting, passed a resolution setting a goal to open a city beach by July 1. The resolution, which was passed unanimously, states that the least expensive and quickest way to achieve the July 1 goal is to reopen the former city beach on OBPA land. But controversy soon ensued as OBPA leadership said they knew nothing of councilâs idea to reopen the beach until after the resolution was passed in March.
