(Monday, March 17, 2014) – The City Department of Environmental Services will host a public hearing at 6:30 p.m. Monday, March 31, 2014 to gather comment on the Harbor Management Plan. The hearing will be held in the Port Terminal Building Waterside Room, 1000 N. River St.
The City of Rochester and NYS Department of State are working together, along with harbor stakeholders, to develop a Harbor Management Plan that will eventually be a component of the City’s Local Waterfront Revitalization Program.
The goal of the Harbor Management Plan is to recommend a structure for and provide direction to a management entity for the Rochester Harbor that will oversee operations and events at the Harbor, facilitate and promote sustainable economic development and tourism, preserve the unique natural environment, seek opportunities to upgrade the infrastructure and collaborate with law enforcement agencies to ensure public safety.
