- The Town of Alden applied for a DNR grant to help pay for replacing the north landing concrete ramp and add a handicap accessible dock with a HC parking space. The grant application was not successful; therefore there will be no work at the landing this year. Alden is currently evaluating whether to re-apply for funding next year. More information will follow as it becomes available.
