The City has worked proactively to encourage appropriate development along the Beverly Harbor front that allows mixed-uses while supporting water dependent uses, and improved public access while respecting the character of surrounding neighborhoods. The creation of a Harbor/Waterfront plan is the next step in taking a comprehensive look at how the Beverly Harbor and Bass River should be developed. The plan presents a cohesive concept that creates a vibrant and active waterfront while providing improved public access and enjoyment of both the Harbor and Bass River.
