The City of Bellingham and the Port of Bellingham are collaborating to guide redevelopment of 237 acres of Bellingham's downtown waterfront. The long-term vision for this former mill site is a new mixed-use neighborhood, featuring residential, commercial, light industrial and institutional uses, as well as parks, trails and a healthy shoreline. Since 2005, hundreds of community members have shared their ideas and dedicated advisory groups have helped shape proposed plans for this area. The draft documents below chart the course for City and Port collaboration on redevelopment work for decades to come.
The draft Waterfront District Subarea Plan and associated documents were provided to the City's Planning and Community Development Department in preparation for the legislative process. All comments should be sent to: planningcommission@cob.org or Planning Commission, c/o Planning and Community Development Department, 210 Lottie Street, Bellingham WA 98225. Staff Contact: Greg Aucutt, Assistant Director.
