Project Description: 

in 2012 the City purchased three waterfront parcels along Harborview Drive that eventually became Ancich Waterfront Park. Due to its waterfront location, the City's vision for the site quickly focused on waterfront uses, including access for commercial fishing vessels, human-powered draft, and general public access. The Park vision was adopted by Resolution 949 in 2013, and soon after the City applied for grants and looked for other funding sources. Due to funding constraints, the City chose to develop the site in at least three phases, including upland development, commercial fishing operation development, and human-powered craft development, all in accordance with the 6-year CIP. The upland development was completed in 2018.


This proposed objective will complete the design and permit effort, then initiate a construction contract for the new float system for the Commercial Fishing Homeport at Ancich Park. 


Construction is anticipated in 2024.


Current Status:

  • Design and permitting is well underway and currently in review for federal and local permits.
