Newburyport Waterfront Master Plan

As of August 18, 2020, there are no tangible projects being planned from the master plan. The master plan was completed for the Newburyport Redevelopment Authority (NRA), an agency that owns 4.2 acres of waterfront land surrounding a public park in the town’s downtown commercial district. As of June 12, 2020 Senate passed a bill to dissolve Newburyport Redevelopment Authority. The bill requires the authority’s land on the central waterfront to be permanently dedicated to park and conservation purposes, and the money used for the “design, construction, maintenance or operation of an extended waterfront park and related infrastructure.” The architect helped to develop a vision for the property, which would be the basis for an RFP for its development. The goal was to balance viable economic development opportunity with the public’s enjoyment of this special waterfront open space. The process involved several public meetings and a thorough analysis of the existing site. It resulted in recommendations for more clearly defining the park, increasing open space by 30%, improving circulation & pedestrian connections, preserving parking, and creating two new mixed-use buildings at the perimeter of the site to generate economic development opportunity.
