Hyannis Harbor Master Plan Gets 2nd Public Meeting

News release from Town of Barnstable.

HYANNIS, MA — The Town of Barnstable will be hosting a second public meeting to help inform the creation of a Hyannis Harbor Master Plan at the 529 Main Street building in Hyannis on Tuesday, June 11th at 6:30pm. Public participation is encouraged and pizza will be served.

Initial outreach meetings were held on December 13th to solicit feedback from the public on their vision for the future of the Hyannis Harbor area. Using feedback from those meetings and input from area stakeholders, along with a detailed analysis of the existing conditions of the area, the Town with their consultant team has developed initial harbor land use recommendations to be presented and discussed at the June 11th meeting.

The Town of Barnstable was recently awarded a Municipal Vulnerability Program (MVP) Action Grant from the Commonwealth to develop a focused master plan for Hyannis Harbor and the immediate surrounding area. The goal of this plan is to better understand the current and future challenges and opportunities of this working and recreational waterfront, and create a cohesive strategy for the mix of land uses that activate the harbor area on a daily basis. In addition, the Town seeks to review and plan for the growing development pressures immediately around Hyannis Harbor and understand how it might better align its current zoning to meet today’s needs, while also making the Harbor and associated development areas more resilient to the impacts of climate change.
