Cape Charles Harbor Master Plan
Client: Town of Cape Charles
master plan :: n/a SF
Cape Charles’ goal is to be “One of the best harbor areas in the
country” founded on maritime and transportation heritage. The
town was created in 1884 as a planned community and is listed
on the National Registry for Historic Districts. Our role in taking
on this challenge is to overcome the list of needs for the master
plan by improving the town’s image and marketability; promote
the area as a special place to live, work, recreate and visit;
establish an environmentally friendly pedestrian + public space;
build upon and improve
the current guidelines; identify phasing
and implementation strategies that are realistic and obtainable.
Consideration for land and water usage include expanded
docks to increase revenue; strategic harbor entrance location
and orientation of the basin; waterfront’s central location to
downtown and surrounding facilities; existing and new building
positions and heritage of the harbor and town’s building stock. |
