The boat ramp will close for four months beginning in January.
Warner’s Bayou Boat Ramp, 5900 Riverview Blvd., will be closed for four months beginning Jan. 7 as crews make extensive repairs and renovations to the aging boat launch.

Manatee County officials will talk to residents about new storm surge maps on Monday at Manatee High School
