The City of Ashland is suing two companies for the deficiencies in the rebuild of the Bayview Pier along Lake Shore Drive. TheDailyPress reports the pier has remained closed as the city filed a lawsuit last year against C&S Design and Engineering, which designed the pier and the Nordic Group, out of Hermantown, Minn., that built the pier. The suit states that the city starting seeing issues the pier about a year after it was finished. Then in 2022 the city hired another firm to inspect the work, which found a number of deficiencies. The lawsuit continues to make its way through the courts with a hearing set for next month.
