Waterfront / Parking Lot Project
Waterfront Project
Phase I of the project included the construction of new sewer lines under the parking lot as well as the public restroom. This phase was completed in 2022. Since then, the town has been working with the engineers and US EDA to ready Phase II, which includes flood resiliency measures like a new stormwater collection system as well as a floodwall. Though the original plan called for a permanent floodwall, the permitting and approval process has left us to consider a deployable floodwall to be placed in the same location. This system will be deployed when necessary, but the exact system has not been identified at this time. Phase II has been awarded to Crooker Construction LLC; see the following sections for more information relating to the bid process.

Parking Concerns / Alternate Locations
We understand that this project will have impacts on tenants, business / property owners, employees, visitors, and many others. To identify temporary parking solutions beyond the public parking lot, there are a few community partners and businesses that are working with us to open their areas for parking during the fall work. Please do not let this short-term project change your mind about supporting our local businesses!
Note: Please be respectful of the private property owners who have generously shared their property with the public! If signs are posted designating parking for their customers or employees, please do not park in those spaces. Violators may be towed at their own expense!
