Gloucester Mayor Seeks to Purchase Waterfront Property

According to The Gloucester Daily Times, second-term Gloucester Mayor Carolyn Kirk is looking to purchase long vacant waterfront property, parcels I-4, C-2.  The current plan is to acquire the property, erect a sign that says 'Under Idea Development," and then turn to the community for ideas for what to do with it.

The purchase price is currently being negotiated.  Mayor Kirk has stated that the $800,000 Gloucester received from the state’s the Seaport Advisory Council for harbor improvements was more than half the money needed for the purchase.
