Next steps include refining the development scenarios based on community input.
A second round of public engagement is scheduled from September 8th to October 15th, with a follow-up survey running October 6th to 22nd.
The final Master Plan and Reinvestment Strategy is expected to be completed and presented in December 2025.
Once the final master plan is delivered in December, the City will move into the implementation planning phase, which involves prioritizing specific projects, identifying funding sources, and developing a detailed phasing strategy.
This may include applying for state and federal grants, exploring public-private partnerships, and coordinating with regulatory agencies for permitting.
The implementation plan will also guide future decisions on site design, infrastructure investment, and long-term lease or development agreements, ensuring that the Port’s transformation aligns with the community’s vision and market demand.
