CRESCENT CITY HARBOR DISTRICT REDEVELOPMENT

Your Input Matters

The Crescent City Harbor District is launching a large-scale redevelopment project to ensure the harbor can meet the future needs of the commercial fishing fleet, better serve the local community, and enhance the experience of visiting tourists. This transformative effort will be funded through a combination of public grants and private investment, with total funding potentially exceeding many tens of millions of dollars.

As a valued member of our local community, your insights and knowledge of the Crescent City Harbor District are invaluable to us. We invite you to share your thoughts in response to the following questions to help guide our decision-making process and ensure that potential redevelopment projects meet your needs.

Feel free to provide your feedback in any way that works best for you, whether by underlining options below, starring options, ranking the options (with “1” the highest), or writing in your own thoughts and ideas.

1. Community Needs

What do you believe are the most important needs that new development should address? Examples may include, but are not limited to:

a) Visitor Amenities (e.g., restaurants, retail shops, restrooms, marine services, fuel stations, and expanded lodging options)

b) Job Creation (e.g., apprenticeship and internship programs, entrepreneurship support, business incubators, startup accelerators, partnerships with educational institutions, support for local businesses, and workforce training)

c) Public Spaces and Recreation (e.g., waterfront boardwalks, beaches, parks, picnic areas, and gathering spaces)

d) Harbor Infrastructure (e.g., improved docks, boat ramps, lighting, roads, sidewalks, and signage)

e) Visitor Experiences (e.g., guided boat tours, cultural attractions, educational programs, drive-in theater, concerts, and observation decks)

f) Support for the Fishing Industry (e.g., enhanced processing facilities, ice production, cold storage, fish markets, sport and recreational rentals)

g) Sustainability and Environmental Protection (e.g., clean energy initiatives, shoreline restoration, water conservation, stormwater management, green fleets, and eco-friendly harbor operations) Are there specific sustainability features you would like to see incorporated into development?

2. Impact on Local Character

Do you have concerns about how the proposed development will affect the character of the waterfront and surrounding areas? Consider factors such as:

a) Visual appeal (e.g., architectural style, building height, aesthetics, harmony with the coastal environment)

b) Traffic & Congestion (e.g., increased vehicle and pedestrian flow, parking availability, road safety, and accessibility)

c) Noise Levels (e.g., construction noise, increased commercial and recreational activity, amplified sound from entertainment venues)

d) Preservation of Culture and History (e.g., protection of historic landmarks, recognition of indigenous or maritime heritage, preservation of waterfront traditions, integration of interpretive signage or educational elements, and ensuring that new development complements rather than replaces culturally significant sites) Are there specific areas of the harbor you believe should be preserved?
