The Harbor District has been at the center of our region’s prosperity for hundreds of years – first as a rice marsh with plentiful fish and game, then as an economic hub that served industries throughout the state. The Harbor District Initiative brings together local, state, and federal government efforts, private sector interests, and community enthusiasm to achieve a world-class revitalization o
f this area for the benefit of the City and the Region. Our goal is to reinforce existing businesses and neighborhoods and set a new standard for how waterfronts “work” environmentally, economically, and socially. Over the next 18-24 months, the Harbor District Initiative will conduct a planning process to engage a broad array of stakeholders in crafting a vision for the area, and begin to build momentum and marshal resources to implement the vision.
