WaterfrontPlanningProcess• The LWRP set policies for the revitalization;

• The Implementation Plan listed public and private actions to

accomplish the

revitalization;

• Using grant funding, feasibility studies, construction designs

and actual construction projects are undertaken.

• Plans and studies (LWRP IP, BOA, Ferry Feasibility, Harbor Management;

Stormwater and

Flooding

Engineering)

are

all

meant to be components of the upcoming GEIS which will predict build out levels and analyze the environmental impacts, the infrastructure requirements, the mitigation of

brownfield areas,

plan

for

the

impact

of

water

rise

and

periodic flooding as well as an updated economic study. This

will help foster implementation of the revitalization on a

shorter timetable.
