PUBLIC MEETING NOTICE
Charlestown, MA – On Thursday, September 26, 2019, at 6:00 p.m., the National Parks of Boston will host a public meeting at the USS Constitution Museum located at the Charlestown Navy Yard, Charlestown, MA.
The National Park Service, USS Constitution Museum and the US Navy will present current planning efforts underway for the Charlestown Navy Yard unit of Boston National Historical Park. The vision set forth in these plans provides an exciting new strategy for enhancing the visitor experience and providing for the long-term stewardship of the navy yard resources.
The National Park and its partners have strategically invested in several major planning efforts for the Charlestown Navy Yard setting the groundwork for master redevelopment of the navy yard. The “Visitor Experience Plan,” a community engaged and collaborative effort, is shaping the direction for determining investment priorities that make visitor experience a priority and allow for non-contributing resources to be leased. A concurrent space study for the 372,000 square feet of real estate in the Navy Yard provides recommendations for optimum utilization of space, cost revenue opportunities to offset rehabilitation costs, and stewardship of these resources. The next phase is activation of these plans, including design, program development, and development of a strategy for use of buildings not being utilized by the National Park Service.
The public meeting will be held at the USS Constitution Museum, Charlestown Navy Yard, Boston, MA on September 26, 2019, at 6:00 p.m.
