Waterfront Action
has held frequent public meetings devoted to waterfront improvements,
plans, and developments. These meetings have brought together community
members, developers, agency and government officials to consider issues
and projects related to our region's waterfront.
These sessions
have been one of Waterfront Action's most significant contributions; to get a
sense of their scope, view the history of meeting agendas shown below.
