The search will finally get underway in earnest for a new boat launch site around Taghum or Blewett.
Teck closed access to a former site a couple of years ago and the Regional District of Central Kootenay agreed to look for a new one.
But director Ramona Faust says they never got started.
The board has now set aside $20,000, up from $10,000.
Faust says the closure of the old launch has been an inconvenience for many boaters.
