Under way now: Beach reconstruction Project.  
 
The city recently began phase 2 of the beach reconstruction project.  The area was cleaned of large boulders, rocks and debris and leveled out smoothly.  There are plans to bring in beautiful fine sand and the installation of several powered picnic shelters.
“The people of East Chicago deserve a safe beach to have fun and spend time with their family.” said Mayor George Pabey.  For more information call 219-391-8206
