Commissioners approve Rogue Rowing’s new project

Medford, Ore.– The Rogue Rowing Club will move forward with their plans to expand their program  at Emigrant Lake in Ashland.

In a two to one vote, Jackson County Commissioners gave the project the green light.  A total of $100,000 will go towards designing a boat house on the lake.

James Adams of Rogue Rowing, says the facility will be available not just for rowers, but also sailors, kayakers, stand up paddle boarders and more.

“I can see tremendous benefit for the community. We will be bringing in a million dollars in new revenue each year and we will be creating more jobs.”

Construction on the boat house will begin as early as the end of this year.  Commissioners also approved $15,000 towards designing and maintaining a new expanded parking lot for the Rogue Snowmobilers.
