🚨PROJECT UPDATE🚨Phase 2 of the Ventura County Harb 🚨PROJECT UPDATE🚨Phase 2 of the Ventura County Harbor Department Headquarters redevelopment project officially began Monday at 3900 Pelican Way in Oxnard.
 
This next phase of work includes major marine infrastructure improvements like replacing the Harbor Patrol gangway and landing, installing 265 feet of steel sheet pile wall for seismic protection, and rebuilding the shoreline revetment. The work is expected to be completed this fall.
 
The project marks another major step toward a new modern headquarters that will support Harbor operations, Harbor Patrol, and a future community/hearing room designed to better serve the public. #channelislandsharbor #ciharbor #venturacounty #oxnard #harborlife
🚨PROJECT UDPATE🚨A temporary wooden fence is being 🚨PROJECT UDPATE🚨A temporary wooden fence is being installed around the future Karls Village project site at the Harbor, marking another visible step toward redevelopment of Fisherman’s Wharf.
 
Unlike the chain-link fencing commonly seen around construction sites, the Karls development team is using a custom wooden barrier that will soon be painted green and enhanced with coastal-themed artwork created alongside local muralists.
 
The fence is already in place along the south end of the property, with installation continuing this week along Channel Islands Boulevard.
 
Demolition of the buildings at Fisherman’s Wharf is expected to begin in August 2026. Remaining businesses are expected to relocate by late June to mid-July. Hopper Boat Rentals will continue operating during construction.
 
Stay tuned as this exciting project continues to move forward!  #channelislandsharbor #visitoxnard #ciharbor #venturacounty #karlserlebnisdorf
