The project has been in the works since 2013 and has been held hostage by bids that have come in over budget by $500,000. Borough officials worked to try to lower the costs of the project to roughly $2 million.

When announced, Bristol officials have called the project “an anchor to the future” for the historic riverside town. With more businesses, events and eateries opening in the central business district, merchants and officials have said they believe the docks could add a boost to the borough.
