Georgia Residents, Business Owners Work Through Claims Process After Storm Damage

Some Decatur residents and businesses, including Riverwalk Marina, are still dealing with damage from the storm that hit the city April 3. Most business owners are haggling with insurance companies, though Riverwalk Marina owner Steve Conner said he has settled with his carrier for the most part. Parts of the marina, particularly A-dock, have been a mangled mess since the storm. "A-dock has been ordered," Conner said Monday. "But this is going to be at least a five-month process. They’ll have to ship it in, put the floor base together and float it into the area. Then they’ll put the roof on it." Riverwalk is No. 3 on the waiting list of the company scheduled to build the dock.
