The City of Bellingham and Port of Bellingham have joined forces to redevelop 137 waterfront acres acquired by the Port earlier this year. The 20-year vision: a new city neighborhood with homes, shops, offices and light industry, as well as parks and promenades, a healthy shoreline habitat along Bellingham Bay, and a new marina.
Open houses planned for Jan. 24, Jan. 31 and Feb. 1 will give community members a chance to review four proposed site design concepts. At these workshops, project consultants and staff will explain the differences and similarities among the plans, which show potential sites for parks and trails, kayak and small boat launches, major roads and bridges and new habitat areas.
