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