Beverly Waterfront Plans


According to the Beverly Citizen, the City of Beverly may soon begin plans to re-write land-use laws to allow new types of development along two downtown waterfronts, Water Street and the Bass River waterfront along River Street and McPherson Drive.

The City is hoping to bring in millions of dollars in new tax revenues. A Special Committee which met in May 2007 is looking to interview prospective consultants and choose a Master Plan perhaps by end of September.

This is more than a year after City Counsilers decided to spend $75,000 on waterfront development planning.
