THE WATERFRONT CENTER

The Waterfront Center, a non-profit educational organization, was formed in 1981 in the belief that waterfronts - where the land meets the ocean, bay, lake, river or canal - are unique, finite resources. The vital characteristic that separates waterfronts from other areas in a community is the relationship to water... The Waterfront Center believes that urban waterfronts are important, special assets and that, when redeveloped, they often contribute to healthy traditional communities. Waterfronts can serve as a unifying force in a city or town and can be, and often are, a force for community enrichment. Further, vibrant communities are essential for environmental, economic and social advancement... The chief goal of the Center is to assist communities and the professions in making the wisest and best long-term uses of waterfront resources for maximum public benefit. We are a public interest, not a lobbying, organization.
