Join the effort to plan the Rockland Downtown Waterfront!

The City of Rockland is fortunate to have an amazing portfolio of municipally-owed properties on the downtown waterfront. The properties include Harbor Park, Buoy Park, the Public Landing, Middle Pier and provide an estimated 1,000 feet of publicly-owned shoreline.

​

This project will develop a shared community vision for these municipally-owned properties and a practical, phased approach for achieving it. The project will build on goals and objectives included in the recently approved Harbor Management Plan, and consider the work of past committees that advanced potential visions for Harbor Park.

​

For example, would the community like to see the Boardwalk extend not just to the edge of the City’s property, but across City properties?  Should we be moving the Harbormaster’s building out of the flood zone? How can we plan for the age-related improvements that are needed for our piers, and improve their ability to withstand storm surges and sea level rise?

Please join the initiative to develop a shared community vision and implementation plan for these spaces. Once we have a clear idea of what the community wants, we can apply for grants and other funding to help make it happen.
