MARION — The Town of Marion will host the first public meeting on its Harbor Management Plan on Tuesday, April 28, from 6 to 7:30 p.m. at Marion Music Hall.
Residents, boaters, waterfront property owners and other community members are invited to attend, learn about the planning process, ask questions and share feedback.
The Town of Marion, with support from the Urban Harbors Institute (UHI) at UMass Boston and the Marine Resources Commission (MRC), has begun developing a Harbor Management Plan that will guide decision-making for Marion’s waterways and waterfront over the next decade. The plan is intended to address the future use, protection and management of the Town’s harbor and related coastal resources.
Community participation will play an important role in shaping the plan. The process will include several opportunities for residents and stakeholders to offer comments and ideas, so the final plan aligns with the community’s priorities and needs.
“This is an important opportunity for our community to help shape the future of our harbor and waterways,” said Randy Parker, Chair of the Marion Select Board. “We encourage residents, boaters and stakeholders to stay engaged and share their input as we move through this important plan. I’d like to thank our town employees who are actively involved in this plan, this includes the Marine Resource Commission, for your proactive approach to ensure our waterfront continues to serve the needs of our community.”
Additional information about the planning process is available on the UHI website. Questions may also be directed to Shannon Hogan at shannon.hogan@umb.edu.
