Gloucester HarborWalk Finds Support and Concern

The Cape Anne Beacon reported that earlier this month a meeting took place to discuss plans for the future Gloucester HarborWalk which will run 1.2 miles connecting the waterfront and the working harbor and Main Street, reported the Cape Ann Beacon.

The walkway will be partially funded by a $500,000 grant that the town received from the Massachusetts Seaport Advisory Council, and is now in the design phase of the developing process. Plans include stories and areas that highlight points of interest “including elements of the working waterfront, Fishermen’s Wharf, the I4-C2 development, Gus Foote Park, and attractions on or near Main Street.”

After a design presentation there were both supporters of the plan as well as concerned residents. One concern was that the planned path did not include “crucial stops” for visitors, including the Chamber of Commerce which doubles as an information center, as well as Stacy Boulevard, an iconic Gloucester setting.
