Carlton Dowe, executive director of VIPA, gave an overview of the master plan for the event space, which has been under development since 2022.
The park is planned for a 3.69-acre site formed from the material dredged from Enighed Pond when the Theodore E. Moorehead Marine Terminal was built. It will include a performance venue, a playground and green space for public use, accommodations for retailers, and a staging area for disaster response.
Dowe began the meeting by stating the plan is still a work in progress and thanked community members for their input over the past two years. He introduced the planning team, which includes engineers and designers from VIPA, Moffatt & Nichol, and Springline Architects. St. John architect Kurt Marsh has also been consulting on the project.
