Boston Harbor Association and Others Contribute to Large Scale Marketing and Tourism Effort

Boston's waterfront neighborhood

Boston's thriving Waterfront neighborhood

Boston’s Waterfront district has evolved greatly since the demolition of the elevated Central Artery and the opening of the Rose Kennedy Greenway. The area now boasts a large number of small businesses, clean public spaces, amazing luxury condos, and even Boston Harbor waters clean enough for swimming. For many locals, however, the Waterfront remains unexplored. How to draw a crowd? That is the aim of a group of nonprofit organizations, government agencies, and local business owners behind a campaign labeled “Summer on the Waterfront: Eat, Splash, Shop, Learn.’’ Backed by a $100K+ marketing campaign, it will be formally revealed on June 1, with a kickoff ceremony to be held June 2 on the Greenway. The campaign will run through Labor Day in efforts to boost Waterfront tourism and gain exposure for the many new local businesses that call the Boston Waterfront home.

Along with a special campaign website (www.summeronthewaterfront.org) and a full roster of events, it will feature outdoor concerts, historic and architectural tours, and the opening of two new Waterfront visitor centers, in Faneuil Hall and on Peddocks Island in Boston Harbor. Educational programs and family-oriented activities, from harbor island day trips to scavenger hunts, will highlight Boston’s storied history. To find out more about this campaign, the many attractions that make the Waterfront a great place to call home, or one of the fantastic Waterfront condos Boston has to offer, contact CL Waterfront Properties today.

North End / Waterfront Reviews Zoning and Licensing Process

Filed under: Boston Luxury Condos,Boston Luxury Real Estate Market,Boston Real Estate Market,Boston Waterfront Condos,Boston Waterfront Events,Boston Waterfront Real Estate Market,CL Waterfront Properties NEWS,Luxury Real Estate,North End Boston,North End Events,North End Luxury Condos,North End Waterfront Condos,Waterfront Boston — Tags: , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , — wpboston @ 6:25 pm

Zoning process revisited

At the January 12, 2012 NEWRA meeting held at the Nazzaro Community Center, there was a unanimous vote to revise the procedure for reviewing zoning and licensing applications for Boston waterfront properties. In the past the applicant needed to make a presentation in front of the full membership at monthly meetings. In a 28-0 vote, the association has agreed that it is not necessary to bring the matters of zoning or licensing in front of the entire membership if the issue does not raise community concerns.

Zoning and licensing matters have been the main focus of many of the NEWRA meetings in the past. With this revision, it will allow the membership to focus on other important issues that may surface in the community. Local businesses will also be saving time and money which would typically be allocated for community review. The zoning and licensing committee will continue to review all applications and enforce the neighbor notification policy.

To find out more about how this decision will impact the area, or to find out more about our available Boston Waterfront real estate, contact CL Waterfront Properties today.
