Boynton Harbor Marina Case Study

The efforts in restoring the Chesapeake Bay also has importance on economic value. The Chesapeake bay is a commercial and recreational resource for more than 15 million people who live in and near its watershed (drainage basin).” (Atkins & Anderson, 2003). According to the Chesapeake Bay foundation, also known as the CBF; in 2004, the Virginia Institute of Marine Science conducted an study estimated that the Chesapeake Bay contributed $1.23 billion in sales, $717 million in income, and nearly more than 13,000 jobs in Virginia from recreational and commercial fishing

I visited the Newport Back Bay Visitors Center. It is located in the Newport Back Bay for people to visit and learn about the wonderful Back Bay that is only steps from our very own school, CDM. The history of the Back Bay goes back a long time. In the 18th century when the Spanish arrived in California places like the Back Bay were very abundant. However by 1975 less than 10% remained in-between Santa Barbra and Mexico. In 1960 plans were made to make the back bay a large marina with houses right along the water. But in 1967 when a group of citizens founded the Friends of Newport Bay they fought to keep this from happening. It was also founded to help bring attention to the ecological importance of the Bay and to help try and ensure its survival. As a result of the Friends of Newport Bay the Upper Newport Bay Ecological Reserve was founded in 1975. Seven years latter in 1982 more land was added at Big Canyon. Five years later, in 1989 what is now known as Upper Newport Bay Nature Preserve was established on the neighboring bluffs after the County of Orange acquired an additional 140 acres. Eleven years after in 2000 the Friends and the Naturalists joined forces to become the Newport Bay Naturalists & Friends. Most recently, in 2010 it was elected to change the name of this organization to the Newport Bay Conservancy, which is the name that stands today. The visitor’s center helps inform people of the intricate Back Bay, how it is being preserved,

The boom and redevelopment of areas like Brickell were possible thanks to the Miami government approach. The city has been very flexible with the

Because of its location, this community is a hot spot for commuters to Boston. Investors can capitalize on this trend by building apartment homes, condos and similar properties. Home buyers and renters are drawn to the area because of its safe environment and excellent schools. This means that property developers can readily find buyers or renters for their new units. In addition, investors always have the option of creating a new business or merely holding the land as well.

Instead of million dollar hotels and famous celebrity strips accumulating across the bay, West Florida has opted for a more recluse lifestyle, which has promoted the growth of tight knit communities. One of the least covered areas in West Florida is Panama Cities Cove, which exemplifies the small close community nature typified in West Florida. Jeannie Cooper author of The Cove Panama City Neighborhood introduced the areas to a wider audience when she published a comprehensive photo album, which detailed the 20th century history of the area. The book is a great contribution to the historical understanding of the area as not many works have been completed detailing the area in any form. Jeannie Cooper book is a great first read for any Florida citizen trying to learn a little more about one of Florida’s least known

Not many folks are aware that this beach exists, so if you are looking to enjoy some solitude, this is the beach for you. You can find this piece of paradise just west of the Carrabelle Bridge on Gulf Beach Road. Since this beach is not well known, there is no formal parking area nor any other convenience facilities. So, make sure to bring everything you will need with you. The natural terrain of the waterfront makes this beach a spectacular place to fish, particularly in the summer and fall. It is also a great place to take a romantic moonlit walk, as the sunrises and sunsets help to set a scene that you will not soon

In 1977, a Shoreline Permit Application was approved for a proposed marina on the north end of the Spit to consist of 840

The policy initiative developed for the Seminole City Center project was completed using a Development Agreement (DA). The DA is the primary tool used to support economic development for the City of Seminole. The DA is derived from the 2015 Florida Statute, Chapter 163 and allows the developer and the city to negotiate certain items in the redevelopment process (Ely, 2015). It adds certainty to what can be built and how it is built. The regulation of the agreement offers assistance to the process while adjusting the agreement through terms that both sides agree upon before the final build outs. The DA becomes the primary social and political tool to ensure individual choices and the constitutional governance that

Upon completion, the container will be paved and then turned over to the Hamilton Port Authority, who will then own the facility and be accountable for monitoring, preserving and evolving the site as port facilities.

Since July 2007, Docklands has been a part of Melbourne municipality. This suburb’s 200 hectares includes both land and water along with Victoria Harbour just west of the centre of the city. Thanks, to the Docklands joining forces with Melbourne, this area place a significant role for the waterfront in this location. For one thing, the harbour provides a highly modern marine experience in the Docklands that is complete with professional boat marine services. We understand so much about this are due to the fact that we provide our mobile services to the mariners who frequent the Docklands.

By 1856, much shipping activity was occurring along the wharf of Redwood City (City of Redwood City 1999, 2). As development continued, the port of Redwood City was moved further towards the Bay to its present location (City of Redwood City, 1999 3). A deep-water channel was dredged, to serve the Leslie Salt Company, the Pacific-Portland Cement Company, and the Alaska Codfish Company (City of Redwood City 1999, 3). In the 1920’s Leslie Salt Company diked off land from the Bay to be used as salt evaporation ponds (Horii 2000, 1). In the 1930’s the channel was widened, a wharf was built, and by 1937 the channel was ready to handle cargo (City of Redwood City 1999, 4). The operations at the Port were successful, and was used during WWII by the U.S. Navy for docking ships (City of Redwood City 1999, 4). By 1942, the Frank Tanning Company owned land east of the salt ponds, the U.S. 101 was built close to the shoreline, and most of the former marsh areas were contained by levees (City of Redwood City 2003,

The Rockaways was once the summer playground for all of Queens. With miles of sandy beach and the amusement parks, the largest one Rockaway's Playland at Beach 98th Street, The Rockaways had everything a summer resort should have. Ever since the amusement parks closed in the 1980's, the Rockaways have gone through a lot of ups and downs. The real estate is now on the up side. The beaches are still crowded during the summer, but the Rockaways became one of the forgotten places as far as development goes. There were plans to put high rise buildings on the grounds of the old park, but the sub soil turned out to be to sandy to support large buildings, so the plan went by the wayside and none of the subsequent idea ever came to fruition. The neighborhoods

* There has been continued redevelopment. In 2006 there was a 3.4 million redevelopment package which again developed the docks.

Drawing upon the lessons of urban revitalization, Seaside also utilizes a strong network of neighborhood associations that not only work to continuously beautify the area but collect dues to ensure that it is done so.4
