METROPOLITAN WATERFRONT ALLIANCE
“The Waterfront Action Agenda is a comprehensive program to enhance the New York-New Jersey metropolitan region’s reputation as a world-class port and water- front destination. It took over 240 organizations one year to establish priorities and identify practical solutions that will make our waterfront what it should be. We are calling upon civic and political leaders to understand these issues and craft policies that reclaim our waterfront for all the people and the competiveness of the region.”
“The Waterfront Action Agenda identifies five key areas that contribute to quality of life and the economic strength of the region. Reflected in our 5 headings, these areas are: economic vitality, transportation alternatives, environmental priorities, public experience, and infrastructure at the water’s edge.”
