TUESDAY, MAY 15, 7 PM, On the Waterfront: Heritage, Re-use, and Economic Development
Moderator, Michael Brennan, Mayor, City of Portland, with Anne Pringle, Community Leader
Development and use of the waterfront is an ongoing policy balancing act, and has significant implications for Portland’s economic development, harborside landscape, and the city’s identity and heritage. Please join us to learn about the issues that the city, developers, business and property owners, fishermen and lobstermen, preservationists, and city residents face and think about when they consider development along the waterfront.
Panel Discussions Explore Greater Portland’s Landscape
Greater Portland Landmarks and Maine Historical Society will co-sponsor a public program series in spring 2012 that will explore the landscapes of greater Portland.
The series will provide an immersion in historic and contemporary issues related to the greater Portland landscape through case studies and rigorous discussion of specific sites and current infrastructure and development projects: new initiatives at Fort Williams Park, replacement of the Veterans and Martin’s Point bridges, reconsideration of Franklin and Spring Street corridors, and development along Portland’s waterfront.
Each program will include a moderator plus three speakers representing a variety of perspectives related to the topic followed by discussion with the audience. All programs take place at the Maine Historical Society, 489 Congress Street.
